International Mother Earth Day invites a global reflection on our interconnectedness with the environment. Embrace the essence of unity amid diversity and explore the delicate balance between humanity and nature. Through meaningful discussions, cultural expressions, and a celebration of our planet's rich biodiversity, let's deepen our understanding of the intrinsic link we share with Mother Earth and the collective responsibility we bear to preserve it.

Orthodox Palm Sunday, celebrated by Eastern Orthodox Christians, marks the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem. The day is also known as "Entry into Jerusalem Sunday" and is observed on the Sunday before Easter. Orthodox Christians commemorate the event by carrying palm branches and participating in processions, symbolizing the crowd's welcome of Jesus with palm leaves. Church services include special prayers, hymns, and the blessing of palm branches. Orthodox Palm Sunday serves as a joyous and festive prelude to Holy Week, as the faithful reflect on the significance of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and anticipate the events leading to his crucifixion and resurrection.
