Every year we Christians
celebrate Palm Sunday a week before Easter Sunday 
with palm branches in our hands 
to commemorate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. 
As written in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, 
people place palm branches in front of Jesus 
as he rode on a donkey on his way to Jerusalem 
and singing part of the hymn
​"Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord."

The sun is a glorious heavenly body 
but because it's an everyday sight, 
no longer that glorious anymore. 
We are so used to seeing it. 
But a simple camera trick 
using a smartphone or tablet
makes you adore the sun once again.
