Scripture: Mark 11:1-11
Melissa reflected on the strange triumph and sorrow and hope mixed together that people in El Salvador might be feeling. Palm Sunday of 1980 was the funeral for Archbishop Oscar Romero. He died because he took the side of the poor during the conflict that lead up to the Salvadorans Civil War.
…low your king comes to you triumphant and victorious is he, humbled and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey…”
Zechariah 9:9
