We are forever forgiven and saved eternally when we come to God through Christ.
We celebrate who Jesus is, both then as He rode into the city, and now as He sits at the right hand of God. Palm Sunday is when Christians commemorate Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey. It is named Palm Sunday because the crowd, knowing the significance and triumph of Jesus' entry, took branches from the Palm trees that bordered the road. They waved them in the air declaring 'Hosanna' meaning 'God Saves' in Hebrew and put some on the road to greet the Lord that day.
Today, in remembering that day, Christians worldwide go to distinctive church services for Palm Sunday. They often receive small crosses made from palm leaves or other local woods. We give you thanks, almighty and eternal God, for sending your only Son in the fullness of time to redeem the world with his obedient life and innocent death. When he entered Jerusalem he was hailed as king by those who spread their garments and palm branches on his path.
We carry these branches as signs of the victory he accomplished. According to the gospels Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, crying before he enters, as he knows the sacrifice he is about to make. We bless you from the house of the Lord. In many ancient Eastern cultures, it was customary to cover the path of someone deemed worthy of the highest honour, while in Roman culture palm leaves were symbols of victory.
Many churches hand out palm leaves to their congregation on Palm Sunday, often blessed first by the clergy. People take them home and hang them on their walls, alongside Christian art, or fold them into cross shapes. While the day is named Palm Sunday, other types of branch can also be used, such as yew and olive. Log In. Contact us Sign up for newsletters. Log In Register now My account.
