Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week. It marks Christ's entry into Jerusalem, where He was received by people with palm leaves. Outside many San Miguel churches, local vendors sell intricately woven palm fronds decorated with flowers. Parishioners and tourists buy these weavings, which are blessed and are said to be miraculous.
Two processions representing Christ's entry into Jerusalem take place. The procession, accompanied by pilgrims carrying palms, ends at the Church of San Francisco.
The second procession leaves the Parroquia. A sculpture of Christ riding a donkey is carried out from La Santa Escuela. Followed by hundreds of people, the procession moves through calle Correo, turns into calle Corregidora and then into calle San Francisco, returning to la Parroquia after circling the Jardín.
