Palm Sunday HistoryPalm Sunday honors the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem ahead of His crucifixion and resurrection. The observance is characterized by the use of palm branches, a symbol of victory in ancient times, hence the name 'Palm Sunday.' It also sets the tone for Holy Week, a solemn period of reflection and renewal for believers leading up to Easter Sunday. Palm Sunday commemorates an event with profound historical roots. According to the Gospel accounts, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, where He was met by crowds of people laying down their cloaks and palm branches on the path. Even though Palm Sunday is universally celebrated among Christians, its customs can vary regionally. For American Christians, Palm Sunday serves as a poignant reminder of the redemptive work of Jesus and signifies the beginning of the most sacred week in the liturgical calendar. In the United States, Palm Sunday is traditionally observed with church services where attendees often receive palm fronds. In many churches, these fronds are formed into crosses and other symbols of faith and hope. Additionally, some churches conduct processions or parades, and many Christians use this day for reflection and prayer. Palm Sunday is not a public holiday in the U.S., so businesses operate as usual. The date varies from year to year but it always falls on the Sunday before Easter and, typically, in late March or early April. Facts & quotes about Palm Sunday
