Palm Sunday Service (Holy Communion and blessing of the Palms)

for 1 hour
St John the Baptist
St John the Baptist, West Street (access by footpath between buildings) New Alresford Winchester, SO24 9AG, United Kingdom

On this day we remember Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem riding on a donkey and the welcome that the crowds gave to him just five days before they turned and demanded his death. Everyone goes home with a cross made from a palm leaf to remember how the crowd’s welcome changed and resulted in the crucifixion.

It has been the Parish Church of New Alresford since 1851. However, we know from the Domesday Book that there was a church in New Alresford soon after the Norman Conquest. Until 1851 it was part of the Parish of Old Alresford.
