The Feast of St. Vincent Ferrer
Vincent left to devote himself entirely to preaching, which was to be his life's work. He met with extraordinary success in different parts of France, Spain, and Italy. One biographer said that he came also to England and Scotland. Some of his main topics were sin, the Last Judgement, and Eternity. Vincent's brother was prior of the Grande Chartreuse, which monastery received several notable subjects as a result of his preaching. In Spain he preached in the open air as no church was large enough to hold the crowds; again he converted many Jews.
In 1414 the Council of Constance attempted to end the Schism which had proliferated since 1409 with three, instead of two, claimants to the papal throne. Again Vincent tried to persuade Benedict to abdicate, but again he failed. He did, however, prevail upon Ferdinand, king ofAragon, to withdraw his allegiance. As a consequence Benedict's credibility collapsed and the schism was ultimately healed. The last three years of Vincent's life were spent in France, mainly inNormandy and Brittany. Worn out with his labours, he died at Vannes on 5 April. A spontaneous popular cult arose at once. The fact that most of his preaching had been in the territory of the Avignon obedience did not prevent the Roman Pope Callistus III canonizing him in 1455, the formal Bull being promulgated by Pius II in 1458. This authorized his feast on 6 April, but in fact it has always been held on 5 April.

Palm Sunday
It's the Sunday before Easter and commemorates the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem five days prior to his crucifixion.
The people of Jerusalem laid palm leaves in his path as a sign of welcome.
The day is also referred to as Passion Sunday, commemorating the beginning of Holy Week as well as Jesus' final journey to the cross.
In Anglican and Roman Catholic churches, members of the congregation hold small crosses made of palm leaf, both to remember the palm leaves which the people of Jerusalem waved when Jesus arrived, and to remember the cross on which he died.
Some Christians display the crosses from that service in their homes during the year as a symbol of their faith. The crosses are burned at the start of Lent the next year to provide the ash for Ash Wednesday.
