Katolikker i Malmø fejrer palmesøndag med procession

Omkring 400 katolikker deltog i en procession palmesøndag ved Vår frälsares katolska kyrka i Hästhagen i Malmø. Kardinal Anders Arborelius prædikede og stænkede vievand over de fremmødte troende, mens palmeblade importeret fra Costa Rica blev svunget i luften. Deltageren Daniela Dolenec beskrev stemningen som glædesfyldt.

Politiet overvågede trafikken omkring kirken, mens processionen bevægede sig gennem gaderne med kardinalen og biskoppen i spidsen. Sognekoordinator Henry Rowicki fremhævede mangfoldigheden af nationaliteter blandt den store menneskemængde. Palmebladene bliver velsignet i løbet af dagen og gemt for at blive brændt næste askeonsdag, hvor asken bruges til at tegne kors på panden. Daniela Dolenec, 28, går med i processionen sammen med sine forældre og forestiller sig Jesu indtog i Jerusalem. Hun faster fra sociale medier i fastetiden for at fokusere på bøn og ro. Maria Jawdut Wadiea, 24, og hendes far Ammar Jawdut Wadiea deler deres fastepraksis. De undgår slik og chips og spiser grøntsager for at føle med de fattige, og de ser frem til påsken, hvor fasten slutter. Fejringen markerer starten på den stille uge, der fører op til påsken med traditioner som den sidste nadver skærtorsdag og Jesu opstandelse påskedag.
