The reading of the entrance into Jerusalem need not only last five minutes. In the congregations I served, we included a procession of palms that left the church. We marched, around the block, while singing. That gave people a chance to actually see a worshiping community in action. When we later read the passion account, many who would not be there on Maundy Thursday or Good Friday hear of the suffering and death of Jesus, before the next Sunday's celebration. In many ways I appreciate the work of the Liturgical Movement, first begun by Vatican II Council.
