PALM SUNDAY : DISTRIBUTION OF PALMS
The retablo was decorated with palm branches from trees growing on Friary grounds.

HOW TO RECEIVE THE BLESSED PALM
At the communion kneeler, the priest will hand you the blessed palm like seen above. Take hold of both ends of the palm with both your hands.
Then, kiss the palm and then the priest's hand. Rise and return to your seat.
BLESSED PALMS ARE SACRAMENTALS AND ARE TO BE TREATED WITH REVERENCE. TAKE IT HOME AND PLACE ON YOUR HOME ALTARS OR ON THE WALL ALONGSIDE OR BEHIND A CRUCIFIX OR SACRED IMAGE. REMEMBER WHAT THE PALMS STAND FOR EVERYTIME YOU SEE THEM. IF THERE ARE EXTRA PALMS AFTER MASS, PLEASE TAKE MORE HOME FOR PRIVATE DEVOTION.

PALM SUNDAY PROCESSION
It would be a good idea for you to practice singing the refrain of this hymn we will be singing during the Palm Sunday procession. The priest will begin the refrain, then those who know it can join in singing it a second time. The priest then sings all the verses, and those who know the refrain can sing the refrain in between the verses. The text is :
Gloria, laus et honor tibi sit, Rex Christe Redemptor : cui puerile decus prompsit Hosanna pium.
English : Glory, praise and honor to Thee, O Christ, King, the Redeemer : to whom children poured their glad and sweet hosanna's song.
The above youtube clip will be helpful.
