Palm Sunday (Orthodox) 

To those who might not know there 2 Palm Sundays as there 2 Easters! One Easter is recognized by the occidental churches (Catholic and Protestant) and the other one by the Oriental Orthodox ones.
This here is not a military parade but it is the procession of Orthodox Palm Sunday (this year at the same day of Easter Sunday of the occidental churches) in the Qassaa street in Damascus. These Church scouts would parade with instruments and flags and then children are parading in Feast clothing.
Here you see a father carrying his daughter in festive clothing while she was doing dance movements to the music of the procession
