Instead of palm fronds, sprigs of boxwood, myrtle, willow, yew or olive leaves are blessed to celebrate Palm Sunday, the start of the Holy Week for Christians.

For this particular Palm Sunday, children read on the situation of farmers in Honduras.
More on the hard work of people especially children in Honduras. For their part, the kids were able to collect some 200Euro to donate to children of Honduras.

Kleurrijk
In het kleurboek van de wereld zijn de kleuren ingevuld.
zwarte aarde, rode rozen,
geel geworden golvend graan.
Blauwe druiven, paarse heide,
groene wei en witte zwaan.
Refrein:

Vul de dagen
van je leven met je eigen kleuren in.

Elke bladzij is weer anders, elke
dag een nieuw begin (2x).

In het
kleurboek van de wereld zijn de kleuren ingevuld.
Rood, je schaamt je, groen is afgunst,
blauw dat word je van de kou.
Paars van woede, wit van kwaadheid,
geel van nijd en zwart in rouw.
Refrein
Als het
kleurboek van jezelf is, kies je toch jouw kleuren uit.
Groen natuurlijk, geel gelukkig,
blauw, je voelt je sterk als staal.
Rood voor liefde, roze vriendschap,
kleurling zijn we allemaal.
Refrein
Colourful
In the coloring
book of the world, colors are filled in
black earth, red roses,
turned yellow wavy grain.
Blue grapes, purple
heather,
green meadow and
white swan.
Refrain: Enter the
days of your life with your own
colors.
Each page is different, every day is a new
beginning (2x).
The coloring of
the world are the colors filled:
Red, for shame, green
for envy,
blue that you
become the cold.
Purple with rage, white with anger,
yellow from envy and black in mourning.
refrain
In your own coloring book, you still choose
your colors.
Green for being natural , yellow for happiness
blue for feeling strong as steel.
Red for love, pink for friendship
we are all colorful.
Have a Meaningful Holy Week!
