Beginning at 8 a.m. on Palm Sunday, he went on a 10-mile bike tour and made 29 stops lasting 5 minutes each as he pedaled his way through all 11 barrios until about 1:15 p.m. He did a short prayer service at each stop, blessed people’s palm branches and handed out copies of a two-page pamphlet outlining how people could celebrate Holy Week at home.
