Palm Sunday, procession in the Sala Regia, 1844. Easter in Rome: '...blessing and distributing palm or olive commemoration of what the Jews did when Jesus entered into Jerusalem. The principal function on that day takes place in the Papal chapel, or "Sixtine," at the Vatican, where the Pope officiates, and blesses the palms, after which the "Passion" is beautifully chaunted; and there is a procession round the Sala Regia, the large and splendid hall, which connects the two Papal chapels, Sistina and Paolina'.
