Christians all over the world have commemorated Palm Sunday, a day that marked the beginning of the holy week on the Christian calendar.
Palm Sunday which is celebrated on the 24th March, is very significant in the lives of Christians as it signifies the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem.

As part of this year’s Palm Sunday commemoration, members of the St Sylvanus Catholic church, Pokuase, as well as Pupils and teachers of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School at New Bortianor in the Ga South municipality also joined the procession, holding palm branches amidst singing and dancing. 
It has been christened ‘palm Sunday ‘ because according to the bible, the people of Jerusalem placed palm fronds in Jesus’s path while cheering and shouting hosanna.
While celebrating the joy that comes the day, some users recollected memories of how Christ was betrayed.
The honoring of the Palm Sunday also marked the starting of the holy week. The most sacred week of Christian year includes Good Friday, re- enactment of Jesus’ crucifixion story and the belief in his resurrection on Easter.

The motivational video exhibits captivating dance moves, set against the vibrant and beautiful city of Accra. Prophet Atarah co-wrote the song with Nana Boateng.
Touching on the message during an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, he said, ‘Increase’ is a motivational song telling people not to give up in their present situation. According to him, with determination and a relentless desire to succeed, God will make everything beautiful.
“As you trust in God’s plan, remember that ‘INCREASE’ is on the way. Just as seeds grow into harvest, your faith is growing into abundance. God’s got you, and His increase is surrounding you,” he added.
Prophet Atarah resigned from the military band in 2006 after an encounter with God to start his prophetic ministry and commenced his music journey about four years ago.
