Palm Sunday Worship Returns for Mexican Catholics
In Mexico City on April 5 Catholics observed Palm Sunday with minimal official interference. The government relaxed religious enforcement, allowing about 39 churches to be open though federal limits permit 26. No police were evident as worshippers carried yellow palm branches. The government had recently allowed reopening of many churches closed during the 1935 anti Catholic campaign, though National Property Churches remained under state control managed by neighbor committees. Approximately 4,000 of Mexico’s 6,600 churches had been closed in 1933 and 1934.
