SUMMARY:Palm Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Palm Sunday\, also called Passion Sunday\, is the first day of Holy Week and the Sunday before Easter. It signifies and commemorates the triumphal entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem with cries of “Hosanna” and  “ “ days before His crucifixion. \nIt is known as such because the faithful will receive palm fronds which they use to participate in the re-enactment of Christ’s arrival in Jerusalem. In the Gospels\, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a young donkey\, and to the lavish praise of the townspeople who threw clothes\, or possibly palms or small branches\, in front of him as a sign of homage. This was a customary practice for people of great respect. \nPalm branches are widely recognised symbol of peace and victory\, hence their preferred use on Palm Sunday. \nThe use of a donkey instead of a horse is highly symbolic\, it represents the humble arrival of someone in peace\, as opposed to arriving on a steed in war. \nA week later\, Christ would rise from the dead on the first Easter. \nDuring Palm Sunday Mass\, palms are distributed to parishioners who carry them in a ritual procession into church. The palms are blessed and many people fashion them into small crosses or other items of personal devotion. These may be returned to the church or kept for the year. \nBecause the palms are blessed\, they should not be discarded as trash. Instead\, they are appropriately gathered at church and incinerated to create the ashes that will be used in the follow year’s Ash Wednesday observance. \nThe colours of the Mass on Palm Sunday are red and white\, symbolizing the redemption in blood that Christ paid for the world. \n
