What is Palm Sunday?

Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter that starts the Holy Week.  On this holiday, we commemorate and praise the day Jesus entered Jerusalem as Savior and King.  As Jesus rode a donkey into the town of Jerusalem a great crowd gathered and laid palm branches and their cloaks across the road, giving Jesus royal respect and honor.  The crowd shouted “Hosanna to the Son of David!  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!  Hosanna in the highest heaven.”
