Hosanna!

And unlike the character in last week's Palm Sunday puppet show, "Hosanna!" does not mean, "Hose Anne!"

In today's story from the bible, we learnt about a very special parade. The people lined the streets, waved palm branches and shouted "Hosanna!" as Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. They were shouting "Hosanna!" which meant, "Hooray! Jesus is here, our saviour!"

At the Chapel Street Centre this morning, we had our own parade, starting from the carpark and entering the church waving our kiwi version of palm branches (ferns) and singing 'Hosanna!'

During Awesome Time we painted hand-print palm branch, and laminated fern bookmarks.
