PALM SUNDAY

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week in the Christian liturgical calendar and commemorates Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, where followers greeted him with palm branches. This event is recounted in all four Gospels of the New Testament. Churches often distribute palm fronds to congregants, who may carry them in processions or use them to create crosses. The day reflects both joy and the beginning of the solemn events leading up to Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection on Easter Sunday.
