Palm Sunday signifies the beginning of Jesus’ last week on earth.
Palm Sunday marks Jesus’ triumphant arrival into Jerusalem. He arrived on a donkey, and the people greeted him with palm fronds. As Jesus entered the city, they spread the leaves on the ground. According to other stories, Jesus held some of the palm fronds in his hand and waved them as he walked by. Jesus’ return to Jerusalem also fulfilled Prophet Zachariah’s promise that the Messiah would come and deliver good news to the people of Jerusalem. Several people screamed “Hosanna!” as Jesus entered the city, which means “God saves” or “Save now.”
The people viewed him as the city’s king and ruler, with many already aware of his ability to perform miracles such as raising the dead and speaking during infancy.
Palms are thought to be symbols of peace and victory, and the fact that Jesus’ arrival was marked by these plants foreshadowed the forthcoming peace and victories that the people had hoped for.
Listen to this beautiful song, on this blessed day, Wishing you all a ‘Happy Palm Sunday’.
