Palm Sunday processions were held around the Catholic world today including in Malta.

The processions recall the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem, preceding his arrest and crucifixion.

The account of the passion was also read during Mass.

Archbishop Charles Scicluna celebrated Mass at St John's Co-Cathedral following the blessing of olives and palms at St Catherine of Italy Church.

In some localities in Malta, the processions are held in the evening.
