Christians are celebrating Palm Sunday, which is the Sunday before Easter. It commemorates the day when, according to the New Testament, Jesus Christ (pbuh) rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, and was welcomed by townsmen holding palm branches.
This BBC photo series shows Christians celebrating the holiday in the Philippines, India, Vatican City and Jerusalem itself.
This year, Western Christians (Catholics and Protestants) and Orthodox Christians are on the same Easter schedule.
