The Bishop of Worcester, John Inge, reflects on how different this Palm Sunday is, when even the city of Jerusalem is closed, and the only gates we can open are those of our hearts.
As today would have been the Chrism Eucharist in the Cathedral, Bishop John and Bishop Martin have prepared this video.
