Surprise! It’s not Easter 🐣 in Jordan 🇯🇴 Today

You can imagine my surprise when we arrived at church ⛪ today only to discover that churches ⛪ in Jordan 🇯🇴 follow the Eastern Orthodox calendar— it was Palm Sunday!!  We attended St. John the Baptist Church, the site of where John the Baptist was beheaded. The service lasted more than 2 1/2 hours and we stood for most of it.   The palms look very different than the ones we share on Palm Sunday.
