Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week. Our Holy Week services walk with Jesus, day by day, through the events of the last week of his earthly life.
On Palm Sunday, we recall what happened when Jesus entered Jerusalem a week before his death: “…the great crowd…took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting ‘Hosanna!’ Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’” (John 12:12-13).
The Celebration of Palm Sunday goes at least as far back as the fourth century in Jerusalem, where people processed from the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem, waving palm branches as they walked. We continue this tradition with our service beginning outdoors, and waving palms and singing as we enter into the church.
