A donkey among the many red flowers on the Mount of Olives.
Maybe he is resting up for the big entry into Jerusalem tomorrow, Palm Sunday.

Sorry, friends, that I have no new photos for the Christian holidays since I no longer live near Jerusalem.
You can, however, enjoy Sr. Dr. Vassa's brief video about Palm Sunday.
She has nice insights from her childhood home in Nyack, New York, about the holiday customs.

Happy holiday to you Western Christians who celebrate the day tomorrow.

A good donkey shot always brings me back to Cervantes and Sancho Panza.
ReplyDeleteThe donkey looks well cared for.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot Dina!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful shot, Dina. The flowers are really striking.
ReplyDeleteI love the sprinkling of red flowers, very peaceful scene.
ReplyDeleteI forgot all about Palm Sunday. I had intended to take photos but it's so gloomy and dark and windy and rainy that I ended up at an exhibition... Love your bucolic scene (and donkeys!)
ReplyDeleteSweet animal. Methinks he's having a pleasant time.
ReplyDeleteA well-deserved relaxation, I suppose...
ReplyDeleteNice find, Dina !
I wonder if he understands what he is about to symbolize. Interesting and thoughtful photo.
