Share in one of our 3 Palm Sunday Worship Services

Palm Sunday, marks Jesus’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, initiating Holy Week. Crowds greeted him by waving palm branches and laying cloaks on the ground, recognizing him as a king. The celebration symbolizes his humility, entry into the city for his passion and resurrection, and is marked by special church services worldwide.

  • The Entry: According to the Gospels (Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19, John 12), Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 that the Messiah would come riding on a colt.
  • Significance of the Donkey: The donkey represents humility, peace, and servant leadership, contrasting with the warhorse of a conquering earthly king.
  • Significance of Palm Branches: Branches (or fronds) were waved and laid on the road to symbolize victory, honor, and royalty, as the people welcomed Jesus with shouts of "Hosanna".
