Do baptists celebrate palm sunday?
Most Baptists will only observe the Holy Week that starts on Palm Sunday and ending with Good Friday and Easter Resurrection Sunday. However, most Baptists do not observe all forty days of Lent that starts on Ash Wednesday. But there are a few Baptists that do that as well. But the great majority of Baptists observe only the final Holy Week and abstain from observing Lent or the entire Lenten season. There are also a few strict Fundamental Baptists who don't observe neither Lent or Holy Week at all. Since each Baptist church is autonomous, there will be some variations in their views on this subject.
