OVER 2,000 parishioners joyously waved palm leaves as they took part in a meaningful procession to celebrate Palm Sunday at St Anne’s Church in Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

They sang the chorus ‘Hosanna’ in different languages as they encircled the church compound before mass began at the main building also known as The Sanctuary.
