Xavier's First Palm Sunday
Greetings to everyone and Good Palm Sunday to you all.
Part of this morning's service brought all of the children to the altar where a section of the Gospel was read. Xavier, being the youngest child in attendance, got the best of the front-row seating.
Xavier pays close attention here, but we have other pictures of him trying to "defrock" Fr. Seraphim's glasses from his face. Fr. Seraphim gradually sped up his reading of the passage because he had difficulty holding the palms and Xavier and trying to keep Xavier from pulling his glasses off, a battle that was stacked against him.
This is a slice of what is mentioned above. Xavier managed to untie the palm frond tied into the shape of the Cross.
