Pocket-sized crosses woven from blessed palms, obtained on Palm Lord's day

Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an effect mentioned in each of the 4 approved Gospels.^[iii] Palm Sunday marks the showtime day of Holy Calendar week. For adherents of Nicene Christianity, it is the last calendar week of the Christian solemn season of Lent that precedes the arrival of Eastertide.^{[4] [5]}

In most liturgical churches, Palm Sunday is celebrated by the blessing and distribution of palm branches (or the branches of other native trees), representing the palm branches which the crowd scattered in front of Christ as he rode into Jerusalem. The difficulty of procuring palms in unfavorable climates led to their substitution with branches of native copse, including box, olive, willow, and yew. The Sunday was ofttimes named after these substitute trees, as in Yew Sunday, or by the general term Branch Sunday. In Syriac Christianity information technology is often called every bit Oshana Sunday or Hosanna Sunday based on the biblical words uttered by the crowd while Jesus entered Jerusalem.

Many churches of mainstream Christian denominations, including the Orthodox, Cosmic, Lutheran, Methodist, Anglican, Moravian and Reformed traditions, distribute palm branches to their congregations during their Palm Sun liturgies. Christians take these palms, which are often blest past clergy, to their homes where they hang them alongside Christian art (peculiarly crosses and crucifixes) or go on them in their Bibles or devotionals.^[half-dozen] In the period preceding the next year'due south Lent, known as Shrovetide, churches often place a basket in their narthex to collect these palms, which are then ritually burned on Shrove Tuesday to make the ashes to be used on the following day, Ash Midweek, which is the first solar day of Lent.^{[seven] [eight]}

Biblical footing and symbolism [edit]

In the accounts of the 4 approved Gospels, Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem takes place a calendar week before his resurrection.^{[nine] [10] [11] [12]} Simply the Gospel^[thirteen] of John shows a timeline of the event, dated vi days earlier the Passover.^[14]

The raising of Lazarus is mentioned merely by the Gospel of John, in the previous chapter. The Eastern Orthodox Church and the Eastern Cosmic Churches which follows the Byzantine Rite, commemorate it on Lazarus Saturday, post-obit the text of the Gospel. In fact, the Jewish agenda dates brainstorm at sundown of the night beforehand, and conclude at nightfall.^[fifteen]

The Gospel of Matthew claims that this happened that the prophecy might exist fulfilled of: Zechariah 9:9^[xvi] "The Coming of Zion'due south Rex – Run across, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a filly, the foal of a ass".^[17] Information technology suggests that Jesus was declaring he was the King of State of israel.

According to the Gospels, Jesus Christ rode on a donkey into Jerusalem, and the celebrating people there laid downwards their cloaks and small-scale branches of trees in front of him, singing part of Psalm 118: 25–26^[eighteen] – Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Nosotros bless y'all from the house of the Lord.^{[2] [nine] [10] [11]}

The symbolism of the donkey may refer to the Eastern tradition that it is an animal of peace, unlike the horse which is the fauna of war.^[1] A king would have ridden a equus caballus when he was bent on war and ridden a donkey to symbolize his inflow in peace. Jesus' entry to Jerusalem would have thus symbolized his entry as the Prince of Peace, not as a state of war-waging king.^{[one] [2]} Thus there have been two different meanings (or more than levels of biblical hermeneutics): an historical meaning, truly happening according to the Gospels, and a secondary meaning in the symbolism.

In Luke 19:41 as Jesus approaches Jerusalem, he looks at the city and weeps over it (an effect known as Flevit super illam in Latin), foretelling his coming Passion and the suffering that awaits the city in the events of the devastation of the Second Temple.^[19]

In many lands in the aboriginal Near Eastward, it was customary to cover in some mode the path of someone thought worthy of the highest accolade. The Hebrew Bible^[20] reports that Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, was treated this style. Both the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John report that people gave Jesus this form of accolade. In the synoptics the people are described as laying their garments and cut rushes on the street, whereas John specifies fronds of palm (Greek phoinix). In Jewish tradition, the palm is one of the Four Species carried for Sukkot, as prescribed for rejoicing in Leviticus 23:forty.^[21]

In the Greco-Roman civilisation of the Roman Empire, which strongly influenced Christian tradition, the palm branch was a symbol of triumph and victory. It became the most mutual attribute of the goddess Nike or Victoria.^{[22] [23] [24]} For gimmicky Roman observers, the procession would accept evoked the Roman triumph,^[25] when the triumphator laid down his arms and wore the toga, the civilian garment of peace that might exist ornamented with emblems of the palm.^[26] Although the Epistles of Paul refer to Jesus equally "triumphing", the entry into Jerusalem may not have been regularly pictured equally a triumphal procession in this sense before the 13th century.^[27] In ancient Egyptian religion, the palm was carried in funeral processions and represented eternal life. The martyr's palm was subsequently used every bit a symbol of Christian martyrs and their spiritual victory or triumph over death.^[28] In Revelation 7:9, the white-clad multitude stand before the throne and Lamb property palm branches.^[29]

Eastern and Oriental Christianity [edit]

Palm Lord's day, or the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem equally it may be called in Orthodox Churches, is one of the Twelve Great Feasts of the liturgical year. The day earlier Palm Sun, Lazarus Saturday, believers often gear up palm fronds by knotting them into crosses in preparation for the procession on Sunday. The hangings and vestments in the church are changed to a festive colour – most unremarkably light-green.

The Troparion of the Feast (a curt hymn) indicates that the resurrection of Lazarus is a prefiguration of Jesus's own Resurrection:

O Christ our God
When Thou didst raise Lazarus from the dead before Thy Passion,
Thou didst confirm the resurrection of the universe.
Wherefore, we like children,
carry the imprint of triumph and victory,
and we cry to Thee, O Conquistador of beloved,
Hosanna in the highest!
Blessed is He that cometh
in the Name of the Lord.

In the Russian Orthodox Church, Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Ukrainian Cosmic Church, Ruthenian Cosmic Church, Polish, Bavarian and Austrian Roman Catholics, and diverse other Eastern European peoples, the custom developed of using pussy willow and other twigs like box tree instead of palm fronds because the latter are not readily available that far north. There is no approved requirement as to what kind of branches must be used, so some Orthodox believers use olive branches. Whatever the kind, these branches are blessed and distributed together with candles either during the All-Night Acuity on the Eve of the Feast (Saturday night), or earlier the Divine Liturgy on Sunday morning. The Swell Entrance of the Divine Liturgy commemorates the "Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem", then the meaningfulness of this moment is punctuated on Palm Sunday as everyone stands, holding their branches and lit candles. The faithful accept these branches and candles home with them after the liturgy, and keep them in their icon corner equally an evloghia (approving).

In Russia, ass walk processions took place in different cities, but virtually chiefly in Novgorod and, from 1558 until 1693, in Moscow. These were prominently featured in testimonies by foreign witnesses and mentioned in contemporary Western maps of the city. The Patriarch of Moscow, representing Christ, rode on a "ass" (actually a equus caballus draped in white cloth); the Tsar of Russia humbly led the procession on human foot. Originally, Moscow processions began inside the Kremlin and terminated at Trinity Church, now known as Saint Basil'south Cathedral, but in 1658 Patriarch Nikon reversed the guild of procession. Peter I in the 1720s, as a part of his nationalisation of the church building, terminated the custom; information technology has been occasionally recreated in the 21st century.

In Oriental Orthodox churches, palm fronds are distributed at the front end of the church building at the sanctuary steps. In India the sanctuary itself is strewn with marigolds, and the congregation proceeds through and outside the church.

In ancient times, palm branches symbolized goodness and victory. They were often depicted on coins and of import buildings. Solomon had palm branches carved into the walls and doors of the temple.^[30] Again at the cease of the Bible, people from every nation enhance palm branches to honor Jesus.^[31]

Palm Dominicus commemorates the entrance of Christ into Jerusalem,^[32] when palm branches were placed in his path, before his arrest on Holy Thursday and his crucifixion on Good Friday. Information technology thus marks the beginning of Holy Week, the final week of Lent.

In churches of many Christian denominations, members of the congregation, ofttimes children, are given palms that they carry every bit they walk in a procession effectually the within of the church.^{[33] [34]} In the Church of Pakistan, a united Protestant Church, the faithful on Palm Sunday carry palm branches into the church building as they sing Psalms 24.^[35]

In the Roman Catholic Church, as well as among many Anglican and Lutheran congregations, palm fronds (or in colder climates some kind of substitutes) are blessed with holy water exterior the church building (or in cold climates in the narthex when Easter falls early on in the year) in an issue called the Blessing of the Palms. A solemn procession of the entire congregation takes place immediately afer the blessing of the palms, chosen the Palm procession.

In the Cosmic the Episcopal Church, this feast now coincides with that of Passion Sunday, which is the focus of the Mass which follows the procession. The Catholic Church considers the blessed palms to exist sacramentals. The vestments for the twenty-four hours are deep scarlet red, the color of blood, indicating the supreme redemptive sacrifice Christ was entering the metropolis to fulfill his passion and resurrection in Jerusalem.

In the Episcopal and many other Anglican churches and in Lutheran churches, as well, the day is officially chosen The Sun of the Passion: Palm Lord's day; in exercise, though, it is usually termed Palm Sunday as in the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer and in before Lutheran liturgies and calendars, to avoid undue confusion with the penultimate Sunday of Lent in the traditional calendar, which was Passion Dominicus.

In traditional usage of the Methodist Church, The Book of Worship for Church building and Home (1965) provides the following Collect for Palm Sunday:^[36]

Almighty and everlasting God, who, of thy tender honey toward flesh hast sent thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ to have upon him our flesh, and to suffer expiry upon the cross, that all flesh should follow the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may both follow the example of his patience and too be made partakers of his resurrection; through the aforementioned Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.^[36]
