✝️🇮🇱 - It should be noted that the Palm Sunday Mass has never been prevented by those ruling the Holy Land since 1349, when the Black Death was ravaging the world.

While the public was barred from entry in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the clergy were still permitted to conduct the rites. Neither the Six-Day War nor the Israeli War of Independence saw a formal ban on the Mass, and there is no evidence to suggest it did not take place.

Ottoman and Mamluk rulers never issued such restrictive measures during their centuries of rule over Jerusalem. The last authorities to formally prohibit this Mass for political reasons were the Fatimids, prior to the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 1009.

No political entity has prevented this Mass in over 1,000 years.
