What is Palm Sunday?
Palm Sunday opens Holy Week, remembering the day the crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem with palm branches and shouts of Hosanna. It holds joy and sorrow together, for the same road that received him with palms would within days lead to the cross.
In the Word
And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.Matthew 21:9 (KJV)
How it is observed
