Although it still happens randomly during the period, the procession with all its excitement seems to be gradually fading away with many celebrating it on a quieter side or more definitely on social media with several colourful posts. Reminiscing their childhood days where the processions with ‘Hosanna’ chants were prevalent, they noted that it was an enjoyable moment. Maybe we should decorate our adult services with palm fronds so that we can have it as we did when we were kids”. They however acknowledged the changes in time especially with the emergence of social media and technology, it appears many would rather silently acknowledge the day with pictures and or phrases on their various platforms than move around with palm fronds. “When I was younger, I had palm fronds I took along, it was fun because we had drumming and the bass band guys following comparing to today where I’ll just put a picture of the palm frond on my WhatsApp Status or social media handles just to celebrate it”.
