Answer 3

Palm Sunday is the day Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey several days before he died. The crowd was so excited he was coming they laid down their coats and cut palm branches and laid them down in front of His path. It is a way to honor a king or someone of great importance. Many had believed He was and were proclaiming Him to be the promised Messiah. Christians celebrate this day the week before Resurrection Sunday (Easter).

Palm Sunday is the remembrance of the day Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem over a carpet of palm fronds placed before him by believers in his preaching. It took place approximately five days before his arrest prior to his torture and eventual crucifixion. Next Sunday, (Easter) is the celebration of the day Jesus was resurrected from the dead.

Answer 6

Palm Sunday refers to the Sunday before Christ's crucifixion. He entered Jurusalem on a donkey, and the villagers laid palms on the ground in respect.

It is the only time he really showed himself as a king. The Romans took heavy offense to this, which was why He was tried and convicted in a mockery of a court. Above his head on the cross was a sign reading his alleged crime: King of the Jews.

Answer 7

Christians commemorate Jesus entering Jerusalem before the Crucifixion to die for all mankind. Matthew Chapters 16:21, 27-28, fulfilling the Old Testament prophecies.

Answer 8

The first day of Jesus's return to Jerusalem- on a donkey.
The crowds waved Palms in His honor. It was preceeded by ancient Babylonian ceremonies (Manacheans and others) who revered the Palm as a symbol of God's trustworthyness and constancy. Besides, Palmwine is the cheapest, strongest high in history, next to meditation

Answer 9

Palm Sunday begins the Holy week in the Jewish religion. It also is the day Jesus returned to Jerusalem and begins the last week of His life. The people came out to greet Him like they would any King entering their city. Jesus came on a donkey or a colt depending on what translation of the bible you read. That was a symbol meaning He came in peace. The palm fronds were brought out by the people of the city who met Him halfway and laid them on the ground so that He would not touch the ground and get dirty. It was their way of rolling out the red carpet for dignitaries or kings who were visiting them.

This was the way my pastor explained it to us today in church.

when Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem, the people put palms on the road. this was usually done for a king or other ruler. it was the sunday before Easter.

Answer 11

Palm Sunday is to commemorate the day Jesus came back to Jerusalem after being on the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights (you know, lent), and when he came in to the town riding the donkey (a sign on humbleness, and being one with the people, what we not call "keeping it real"), people greeted him by waving palms, becuase that's what they did in those days. Like we wave American Flags at parades now a days.
