Every year, to remember the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem at the start of Holy Week, College Hill Presbyterian church conducts a processional around the block with palms, banners, and instruments, shouting "Hosanna" and inviting others to join the parade. The processional then enters the church through the main doors during the first hymn. This processional, which is designed to immerse the Sunday school children in the central event of Palm Sunday, was well attended and blessed with beautiful weather.
