A beautiful meditation on the icon above and the Entrance of Our Lord into Jerusalem can be found here. May our Palm Sunday be blessed as we prepare for Holy Week and the Resurrection of Our Lord!

Entry into Jerusalem
The Byzantine Rambler has posted the lovely prayers of the Eastern Rite for Palm Sunday. May God bless you all this Passion Sunday.
MEGALYNARION OF THE FEAST IN TONE FOUR
The Lord is God and he has appeared to us. Therefore let us celebrate and sing for joy. Come, let us glorify Christ, and with palms and branches, sing to him canticles of praise: Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord our Savior!

Which Byzantine Empress Am I?
You’re St. Theodora!
Theodora was the wife of the ninth-century emperor Theophilus and mother of the future emperor Michael III. Theodora ruled the lands after her iconoclastic husband died. She labored to overturn his heretical policies, chiefly by summoning a council that upheld the veneration of images of Christ and the saints. For this, she is herself honored as a saint by the Orthodox Church. Her feast day is February 11.

Intercessory Prayer to John Paul II
- O Blessed Trinity We thank You for having graced the Church with Pope John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of your Fatherly care, the glory of the cross of Christ, and the splendor of the Holy Spirit, to shine through him. Trusting fully in Your infinite mercy and in the maternal intercession of Mary, he has given us a living image of Jesus the Good Shepherd, and has shown us that holinessis the necessary measure of ordinary Christian life and is the way of achieving eternal communion with you. Grant us, by his intercession, and according to Your will, the graces we implore, hoping that he will soon be numbered among your saints. Amen.
