Palm Sunday. The Sunday before Easter and the sixth and the last of Lent, and the beginning of Holy Week. On this day the Church commemorates Christ's triumphal entry into Jersusalem, when olive and palm branches were strewn in his path. In the liturgy the memorial of this event is included in every Mass, with the procession or solemn entrance before the principal Mass, and with the simple procession before the other Masses on Palm Sunday.
