St Patrick and Palm Sunday

Community, Religion & Spirituality

Lá fhéile Pádraig sona duit! It’s still St Patrick’s Day (17 March) somewhere in the world and we learned a bit about why St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland.

Our second holy day this week is Palm Sunday (20 March). After we learned about palms, processions and donkeys, we talked to Sr Brigid Arthur, from the Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project, about the Palm Sunday Walk for Justice for Refugees.

The Melbourne walk starts at the State Library of Victoria with music and speeches from 1pm on Sunday, 20 March.

Originally broadcast on Thursday 17 March 2016.
