Colorful World on Palm Sunday in The Netherlands

 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.

I am posting below one of the songs rendered by the De Kernzangers during the Holy Mass with the English rough translation provided by google and minor corrections from me.
 
 
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!

More umbrellas coming in to  St. Peter's Square
 At about 17:38, a seagull landed on top of the chimney and stayed there until about 18:16.
 Finally the much awaited white smoke at around 7.07 pm

Visit to Koelner Dom/Cologne Cathedral


If you're around in the city and want to hear a high mass
with all heavy and heavenly church music, then come to
Koelner Dom just beside the central station or Hbf...very practical
as one tourist commented.
High Mass is on Sundays at 10:00. Check also the site
I participated this morning at the Holy Mass and
was able to film partly the Gottesdienst. Secretly, of course.
Here's my short video.
