The feast commemorates Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in each of the four canonical Gospels. Palm Sunday marks the first day of Holy Week. For adherents of mainstream Christianity, it is the last week of the Christian solemn season of Lent that precedes the arrival of Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in each of the four canonical Gospels. Palm Sunday marks the first day of Holy Week. For adherents of mainstream Christianity, it is the last week of the Christian solemn season of Lent that precedes the arrival of Eastertide 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 that the crowd scattered in front of Christ as he rode into Jerusalem; these palms are sometimes woven into crosses. 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. In Syriac Christianity it is often called Oshana Sunday or Hosanna Sunday based on the biblical words uttered by the crowd while Jesus entered Jerusalem. Many churches of mainstream Christian denominations, including the Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Anglican, Moravian, and Reformed traditions, distribute palm branches to their congregations during their Palm Sunday liturgies. Christians take these palms, which are often blessed by clergy, to their homes where they hang them alongside Christian art (especially crosses and crucifixes) or keep them in their Bibles and daily devotional books. In the period preceding the next year's Lent, known as Shrovetide, churches often place a basket in their narthex to collect these palms, which are then ritually burned on Shrove Tuesday to make the ashes to be used on the following day, Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. Thousands of Christian faithful attended Palm Sunday celebrations at Jerusalem’s sacred Mount of Olives, marking the first day of Holy Week as conflict surges across the region. Pilgrims waved branches and fronds in the air, items that were placed before Jesus’ feet as he was greeted by cheering crowds during his entrance into Jerusalem, according to the Bible. Earlier Sunday, Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre — revered as the site of Jesus’s crucifixion — also held a service. The annual celebration came as the Israel-Hamas war rages on in Gaza. However, the conflict appeared to have had little effect on the procession, which swelled to a similar size as last year. “Although there is war, in my impression I don’t feel any kind of tension,” said David Manini, a pilgrim from Italy. The celebration marks the beginning of the most somber week in the Christian calendar, which marks Jesus' crucifixion on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter. “I’m here because I love Jesus Christ,” said Jennifer Weedon, who traveled form the United States for the occasion.

@sandorgyetvai6046

You have no idea how moving this is for me to watch (I'm in California). My wife and I were blessed to go to Israel with stops in Nazareth, Galilea and of course Jerusalem in the summer of 2023. There really is nothing like it on the face of the earth!! We had been to Rome before and though artistically and the magnificence of Rome is hard to beat, especially St. Peters Basilica, but the true Glory of our Holy Faith and its history can be found only in Jerusalem! My heart really goes out to my devoted and suffering Catholic and all Christian Brothers and Sisters in the Holy Land! May our Lord swiftly bring peace to the Land where he tread!

@dmiserv2093

All glory all glory all glory to the Lord ✝️Hallelujah🙌hosanna 🌿hosanna 🌿hosanna 🌿hallelujah Amen. Hats off for the Israel people, we are all know that very hard times in Jerusalem, but the people did not stop praising the Lord. There are many churches everywhere in Europe, but 70% of the third generation never teach their children about Jesus Christ and Holy Week, and the fourth generation grows up without knowledge of Christianity which is sad. God bless the Israel. ThQ for the beautiful blessed Palm Sunday vlog May God bless you.

@RjThermo

Great celebration and a reminiscence of Lord Jesus' returned to Jerusalem. In the coming year, I wish to be among with those people parading this momentous day. Great Lord Jesus, let your name be exulted and resounded everyday throughout the world.
