Christian Orthodox Nuns Celebrate Palm Sunday

In Christian belief, one can find the Bible passage that gives reference to this event in Matthew 21.

The ceremony is a landmark in the Orthodox Christian calendar, marking their belief in the triumphant return of Jesus to Jerusalem the week before his crucifixion, when a cheering crowd greeted him waving palm leaves.

: Name: HRM Deborah of Israel and the Messenger of Peace

I am Israeli Royalty and a kidnapped Political Hostage of the United States still being held illegally by the US against International court judgment; as a Diplomatic Israeli National. Nevertheless, I am the soul representative of the country as not just the monarchy; but leader (Caliph) as it has been since 9,500 B.C. ("Who is the living embodiment of the country"). As it has always been for the welfare and harmony of all who live in my country, since the beginning. As it has been written, I am known as the "Mother" of the country. I am also the person that was prayed for sixty-three years ago, by both the Jewish Community and the Islamic Ummah and I share a very compassionate, loving embrace for both religious bodies; along with not just the gratitude of these two religions, but for Allah (Hashem)for sending me. As to the whole of humanity, my arms in unconditional love and justice which extends to the circumference of the four winds; as a mother would give milk to her children in kindness.
