Just a question to satisfy my personal curiosity.

Could anyone please tell me what this text means:

[please let me know if you can't access that image!]

My Arab friend believes it might be Farsi, and says the second word is 'blessed' in Arabic, if that's any help?
Thanks in advance for satisfying my curiosity!

We are blessed


Explanation:
Hi Tony. It's not Persian I believe. Seems Arabic. It means "we are blessed" based on what Google says.

Although, it has words that are similar to Farsi, it is not written in Farsi style.
Based on my search,
شعنینه
is an Eid and this text says: Happy Sha'ninat (if I am spelling it correctly!)

Happy Yew Sunday


Explanation:
In most liturgical churches Palm Sunday is celebrated by the blessing and distribution of palm branches or the branches of other native trees representing the palm branches the crowd scattered in front of Christ as he rode into Jerusalem. The difficulty of procuring palms in unfavorable climates led to their substitution with branches of native trees, including box, olive, willow, and yew. The Sunday was often named after these substitute trees, as in Yew Sunday, or by the general term Branch Sunday.
