Palm Sunday falls this weekend, marking the beginning of the Orthodox Easter Holy Week.
Palm Sunday commemorates the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem, whereby palm branches were placed in his path before his arrest on Holy Thursday.
According to an announcement given to “Neos Kosmos” with the consent of the Holy Archdiocese of Australia, Bank of Sydney together with the Stamoulis family and the Greek Media Group will offer the Epitaph and Resurrection services in a live broadcast on free to air channel 44 (C31).
