Palm Sunday is the start of Holy Week, where Jesus taught in Jerusalem before He was betrayed, crucified and rose again the following Sunday. As this is probably the most important time for Christians, we remember His triumphal entry into the city.
They celebrate it to honor and worship God and to show their humility. On the first Palm Sunday, the followers of Christ fanned Jesus with palms as he rode into Jerusalem to show their humility and show their love. That is why we celebrate Palm Sunday, to worship God.
On Palm Sunday, which is the Sunday before Easter, members of the public gather in St Peter's Square in the Vatican to celebrate mass and take part in the procession with palm and olive branches.
Palm Sunday is a Christian holiday--the Sunday before Easter.

Palm Sunday is when we celebrate Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem for Passover. We call it Palm Sunday because, while Jesus was riding the donkey into the city, his followers were waving palm branches and shouting "Hosanna, blessed be the King!"
Jesus' entering into Jerusalem a week before he was crucified.
Palm Sunday is celebrated because that is when Christ rode into town on a donkey shortly before His crucifixion. The people threw down palm leaves and branches on the road in front of Him as He entered town, hence the term Palm Sunday.
On the day before Ash Wednesday the leftover palms from last year's Palm Sunday are burned and the ashes are used on Ash Wednesday to 'anoint' the faithful. Palm Sunday is when people celebrate Jesus entering Jerusalem and ash Wednesday is when you use the left over palm leaves from palm Sunday. They are burnt to an ash and then in the mass the congregation is blessed with them.
The word 'Easter' is used on Palm Sunday. According to Christian Scripture, Easter demonstrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after His crucifixion.
