Who celebrates Palm Sunday?
Palm Sunday is in commemoration of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem in the last week before He was arrested and crucified. People lined His path, or waved palm branches, a symbol at the time of victory. This entry is believed by Christians to have been prophesied in Zechariah. John 12:12-13 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
What happened on the first palm Sunday?
Palms were waved, clothes laid on the ground, and a particular Psalm sung to celebrate the entrance and impending coronation of the soon-to-be king. Most of the Jewish people wanted to crown Jesus that day as their king, and to throw out the hated Romans. (However, the Pharisees did not want this at all, and rejected Jesus.) Psalm Sunday celebrates this particular event.
What does Palm Sunday remember?
Jesus' triumphant ride into Jerusalem on a donkey - to fulfil a prophesy that the Messiah would enter Jerusalem on an ass and not on a horse. The people who greeted him laid their cloaks on the ground to make a carpet for him to walk over. In addition they pulled off palm branches from the nearby trees and waved them as they greeted him (equivalent to waving, say, flags today if a monarch or head of state visits a city). This is the reason why it is called 'palm' Sunday.

What happened when Jesus came into Jerusalem?
In 29 AD Jesus was still 23 yrs old. He was born in 6 AD when Quirinius made his first taxing (Luke 2:1-2). There was no record of what Jesus did from age 13 up to the year when he began his ministry at age 30 (Luke 3:23). So it's anybody's guess what happen to Jesus in Jerusalem in 29 AD when he was still 23 years old.
What plant do palm Sunday branches come from?
From the trees just outside Jerusalem. It's called Palm Sunday because this is when the Jews laid palm leaves on the road as Jesus entered Jerusalem.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Palm Sunday is a Christian feast which is the Sunday before Easter Sunday. It is also called Passion Sunday or Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion. In many Christian churches on Palm Sunday Palm leaves, often tied into the shape of crosses are given out to everyone who attends. In some places, palm leaves are unobtainable, and other trees like box, yew, willow or other native trees have to be used instead. Th Sunday was sometimes called Yew Sunday if they were using yew trees or sometimes Branch Sunday.On the first Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and people put their cloaks and Palm leaves on the ground, to make it more comfortabe to walk on, and waved them as he went past. that's my re homework. :)
Why did they gave Jesus such a big welcome to Jerusalem?
A:Theologians and some scholars have pondered why Jesus received such a big welcome into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, yet only a week later they screamed for his crucifixion. Some have seen in this evidence of the fickleness of first-century Jews, while others have suggested that the numbers were not as large and the welcome not as tumultuous as described in the gospels. Perhaps Bishop Spong has the real answer. In Jesus for the NonReligious, he explains that on the Jewish eight day celebration of the harvest, known as Sukkoth, and also called the Festival of the Tabernacles or Booths, worshippers processed through Jerusalem and in the Temple, waving a bunch of leafy branches made of willow, myrtle and palm. As they waved these branches in that procession, the worshippers recited words from Psalm 118, the psalm normally used at Sukkoth. Among these words were "Save us, we beseech you, O Lord." Save us in Hebrew is hosianna or 'hosanna'. This is typically followed by "Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. (Psalm 118:25-6)."The original account of what is now Palm Sunday is in Mark 11:8-9, which says (NAB) that when Jesus entered Jerusalem, "Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out: 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'." However, the Passover season was too early for leafy branches. The author of Mark had taken the imagery of the Jews waving leafy branches, calling out "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" and transferred it from the Sukkoth season to the Passover season and the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.The author of Matthew probably realised that the Passover season was too early for leafy branches and simply made a minor change to this as he copied from Mark: branches strewn on the ground, but not 'leafy branches'. The author of John's Gospel was the originator of the Palm Sunday tradition because, with the same insight as Matthew, he changed this to say 'palm branches'.When we see that the author of Mark knew of the Sukkoth festival, and how well his story of Jesus entering Jerusalem fits a description of those festivities, we know that this was simply a story added to define the beginning of the final week in the gospel and to add colour to his account of the mission of Jesus.
Why is it called Sunday?
Palm Sunday is in commemoration of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem in the last week before He was arrested and crucified. People lined His path or waved palm branches, a symbol at the time of victory.John 12:12-13On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.AnswerJohn Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) puts it this way: The ]ewish eight day celebration of the harvest, known as Sukkoth, and also called the Festival of the Tabernacles or Booths, was probably the most popular holiday among the Jews in the first century. In the observance of Sukkoth, worshippers processed through Jerusalem and in the Temple, waving a bunch of leafy branches made of willow, myrtle and palm. As they waved these branches in that procession, the worshippers recited words from Psalm 118, the psalm normally used at Sukkoth. Among these words were "Save us, we beseech you, O Lord." Save us in Hebrew is hosianna or 'hosanna'. This is typically followed by "Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. (Psalm 118:25-6)." Mark's Gospel was the earliest of the New Testament gospels. It took the Sukkoth traditions and transferred them from autumn to the Passover season for the procession story. Mark 11:8 says (NAB), "Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields." The words used at the Sukkoth are reflected in Mark 11:9: "And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord." Because the Passover season is too early for 'leafy branches' (except palms), John actually says 'palm branches', creating our modern tradition of Palm Sunday.
