[Magdalen] Solemn Palm Sunday?

[Ann Markle]

What Eleanor said. The Palm Sunday liturgy is an important way to enter
Holy Week. There’s enough time during the week, even evening time, to be
quiet and reflective, walk the labyrinth, etc. Maybe a late-Lent quiet day.
But not the main service on Palm Sunday!
