NEW YORK ( AP) — A procession down Broadway led by a miniature donkey marked Palm Sunday before Easter.
Hundreds of people carrying palm fronds walked from St. Paul’s Chapel near the World Trade Center to Trinity Church at the top of Wall Street.
Drummers, chanting singers and priests marked the Biblical description of Jesus entering Jerusalem a week before his crucifixion.
