celebrating Palm Sunday

I am so happy today that we were able to attend the Palm Sunday Mass today. We went to the 9:00 AM schedule. There were a lot of parishioners who went to church today. My little girl was so excited waving her palm leaf while the priest went around blessing palms

What is Palm Sunday? What do Christians celebrate on Palm Sunday? Here’s what I found in my tinkering here in the web.

On Palm Sunday Christians 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 with waving palm branches, and by 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.

The biblical account of Palm Sunday can be found in Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44; and John 12:12-19.
