What is Palm Sunday?
Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter and marks the beginning of Holy Week. It remembers when Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem, and people waved palm branches and laid them on the ground as a way to honor him. This event is seen as a sign of Jesus being recognized as a king, but it also leads into the events of his crucifixion later in the week. It’s a day of celebration, often with people in church waving palm branches.
