Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday, marks the triumphant beginning of Holy Week, commemorating Jesus's final entry into Jerusalem before His crucifixion. According to the Gospels, Jesus rode into the city on a donkey while cheering crowds laid down their cloaks and palm branches on the road, shouting Hosanna. The mood of the service shifts dramatically from the celebration of the palm procession to the solemn reading of the Passion narrative, foreshadowing His upcoming suffering, trial, and death. Celebrated on the Sunday before Easter, this day bridges the joyful adulation of the crowd with the profound sacrifice of the cross.
