Palm Sunday
Max Bowers| Staff Writer
Palm Sunday is a very interesting event. Palm
Sunday is a Christian feast which occurs on the
Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates
Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem which is an
event mentioned in each of the four canonical
Gospels. Palm Sunday represents the first day of
Holy Week and the last week of the Christian
solemn season of Lent. In most l churches, Palm
Sunday is celebrated by the blessing and
distribution of palm branches, representing the
palm branches which the people put in front of
Christ as he rode into Jerusalem, as it states in the
Bible. The difficulty of procuring palms in
unpleasant climates is due to their substitution of
branches with native trees. All which include
box, olive, willow, and yew. The Sunday was
usually named after these substitute trees, as in
Yew Sunday, or by the normal term Branch
Sunday.
According to the Gospels, Jesus’ rode on a
donkey into Jerusalem, and the people who were
