Port-of-Spain res­i­dents woke up to the sounds of hymns and sight of wav­ing palms yes­ter­day, as dozens of Catholics and An­gli­cans joined to­geth­er in a dis­play of re­li­gious sol­i­dar­i­ty to pray for the cap­i­tal city.

The an­nu­al Palm Sun­day pro­ces­sion took place as the coun­try re­mains un­der a State of Emer­gency (SoE) and the cap­i­tal con­tin­ues to be a tar­get for crim­i­nals.

Since the SoE came in­to ef­fect on March 3, there have been at least 22 mur­ders record­ed.
