Palm Sunday is a Christian holiday that occurs on the Sunday before Easter. It commemorates the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, where crowds welcomed him by waving palm branches and laying them on the ground. This event is significant as it marks the beginning of Holy Week, leading up to Easter Sunday. On Palm Sunday, many churches hold special services that include the blessing of palm branches. Worshippers often receive these palms and may participate in processions, reenacting the journey of Jesus into Jerusalem. The day serves as a reminder of the joy and hope associated with Jesus' arrival, as well as the events that followed.
