Palm Sunday commemorates when Jesus entered Jerusalem and was greeted by people waving palm branches.
This event serves as a reminder for Christians to welcome Jesus into their hearts and be ready to follow Him.
The Palm Sunday service also includes a reading of the Passion, which narrates the story of Jesus' suffering and crucifixion.
Palm Sunday is a Christian holiday that occurs on the Sunday before Easter.
This celebration celebrates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, mentioned in each of the four Gospels.
Jesus entered the city knowing He would be tried and crucified. He welcomed His fate to rise from the grave and save us from sin.
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, the remembrance of Jesus' last days.
In many churches, Palm Sunday is observed with the blessing and sharing of palm branches, symbolizing the branches placed in front of Christ as he entered Jerusalem.

The Triumphal Entry
12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. — John 12:12-19 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain.

Another "only in Israel" moment and one that I love every year. 
All over the streets and pavements of Israel today until next Sunday, you will see palm branches that have been cut down, all for the residents to freely take in order to put on their sukkah for the festival of Sukkot. The timing is also 100% accurate because the entire palm tree grows back all of it's branches in time for the next year at the same time. Hashem gives us all we need every year.
After collecting at least 30 palm branches I went to pick up my sukkah from storage in order to start building it the evening after the fast of Yom Kippur.
And to think that Jews have been doing this for 3000 years unbroken and unchanged, just with different customs over time. Chag sameach, chatima tova!

Hosanna! Holy is His Name!
My insides cringed when he said it. Sucking in a short, sharp breath, I realized that I would never grow accustomed to hearing Jesus’ name used while swearing. My head bowed slightly as my heart prayed, “Jesus is Lord.” We know that God’s name is holy. The commandments given to Moses reveal that. If that wasn’t enough, Jesus Himself tells us that God’s name is holy in Matthew 6:9. In fact, it’s…

Of robes and palm branches
“And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Blessed is the kingdom of our father David That comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭11‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Of robes…

Revelation 7: Meaning of the Multitude
After so many disturbing images from the breaking of the seals, John was now swept up in a rapturous time of praise and thanksgiving, as the mighty multitude, the elders, all the angels, and the four living creatures exalted God, singing. #Revelation7

Pope Francis attends the Palm Sunday Mass in Saint Peter's Square at the Vatican, March 24, 2024. REUTERS / Guglielmo Mangiapane
Tumblr media
March 24 (Reuters) — Pope Francis at the last minute skipped reading his homily during a Palm Sunday Mass for tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square but continued presiding at the service, read his noon prayer and was driven around the crowd in a popemobile.
In recent weeks, the 87-year-old pope has been suffering on and off from bronchitis and influenza and has delegated an aide to read his addresses for him, but on Sunday, his prepared text was not read at all.
It is very unusual for a pope to totally skip a homily at a major event such as Palm Sunday, which marks the start of Holy Week, a busy period leading to Easter.
Tumblr media
The Vatican gave no immediate explanation for why the pope skipped the homily.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Vatican Television coverage showed only the crowd for a few minutes, instead of a close-up of the pope.
An announcer on Vatican Radio then said the pope had decided to not read the homily.
The pope, dressed in red vestments, continued presiding, reading parts of the Mass.
Cardinals, priests and bishops took part in the service that commemorates what the Bible says was Jesus' entry into Jerusalem days before he was betrayed, put on trial and executed by crucifixion.
The clerics, along with participants in a crowd estimated by Vatican police at about 60,000 people, held palm fronds and olive branches at the service.
Francis has a knee ailment, and for more than a year, he has presided at Masses while sitting near the altar while a cardinal acts as the main celebrant.
Tumblr media
After the Mass, Francis delivered his weekly Sunday Angelus message and blessing from the altar and not from the window of the Apostolic Palace overlooking the square. That is not unusual on major occasions.
Tumblr media
In the prayer, he condemned the shooting attack that killed at least 133 people at a concert hall near Moscow as a vile and inhuman act that offends God.
He again asked for prayers for all those suffering from wars, mentioning Ukraine and Gaza.
At the end of the service, Francis was driven around the square in an open-top vehicle.
He waved and smiled at people in the crowd and did not appear to be any difficulty.
