While Palm Sunday was being celebrated by the Parish, the Nazzarenu Community too were celebrating it. The celebrant was the Church Rector Canon Anthony Refalo Rapa. After reading from the Bible, in front of the Nazzarenu Church, followed by the blessing of palm fronds and olive branches the image of Christ crucified was carried in procession. On arriving in front of the closed church main door, the celebrant knocked three times on it  with the cross and then it opened. Inside the Church, Celebration of the Holy Eucharist followed.
