On Palm Sunday we celebrate the
triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into
Jerusalem, the week before his death
and resurrection. For many Christian
churches, Palm Sunday, often referred
to as "Passion
Sunday," marks the beginning of
Holy Week, which concludes on Easter
Sunday. The Bible reveals that when
Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds
greeted him by waving palm branches
and covering his path with palm
branches. Immediately following this
great time of
celebration in the ministry of Jesus, he
begins his journey to the cross
