palm Sunday is all about how that when Jesus road into Galilee and his worshipers threw palms at him --another answer-- Palm Sunday (not Psalm Sunday) is about the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, when people laid palm branches on the ground as he approached. This was a sign of honour in those days.
Jesus was crucified. Jesus was nailed to a cross. Three days after he died he came back to life. This day happend to be Easter Sunday, or Palm Sunday.
Lent is in remembrance of the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert prior to his death. He went to the desert for 40 days and 40 nights, and then came back to the city on Palm Sunday. From Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday is 40 days. The remaining 7 is in regards to the week before Easter; Holy Week.
Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey on what is celebrated as Palm Sunday, which is the Sunday before Passover. Passover begins on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, which typically falls on a Thursday. Therefore, there are approximately four days between Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and Passover day.
Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday are both important Christian holidays, but they have different meanings. Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, where people welcomed him with palm branches. It marks the beginning of Holy Week. Easter Sunday, on the other hand, celebrates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, three days after his crucifixion. It is the most important day in the Christian calendar, symbolizing hope, renewal, and the victory over death.
The names of the holy week days are Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. These days hold significance in Christian tradition as they commemorate the events leading up to and including the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Palm Sunday marks Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper, Good Friday remembers Jesus' crucifixion, Holy Saturday is a day of reflection and waiting, and Easter Sunday celebrates Jesus' resurrection from the dead.
The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is traditionally commemorated on Palm Sunday, which is celebrated one week before Easter Sunday. The crucifixion occurred just a few days later, typically on Good Friday. Therefore, the events of the triumphal entry and the crucifixion are believed to be separated by about five days.
YES!!!! It is celebrtated in the modern Christian CalendR as 'LENT'. Then according to the modern Christian Calendar he came into Jerusalem fro mthe deser/wilderness on Palm Sunday.
The Friday before Easter is called "Good Friday" and commemorates the death of Jesus Christ. Other days of the week before Easter are called "Holy (whatever)", with the exception of Thursday, which is called either Holy Thursday or Maundy Thursday depending on local custom. The Sunday before Easter is Palm Sunday.
Priests wear red to symbolize the death of Jesus, which we remember five days later on Good Friday. Red is the color of blood, so it is very fitting, especially since the account of the Passion of Christ is read at the Gospel. The story of Jesus entering Jerusalem is also read on Palm Sunday, but before Mass begins. The Passion account is read on Palm Sunday because if it is not, then many people will not hear the Passion story, as many do not go to Church on Good Friday. "Rather than having the two Sundays both focus on triumph, Passion Sunday is presented as a time to reflect on the suffering and death of Jesus in a Sunday service of worship." (Link added) Red is also worn on the feast days of apostles and martyrs, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Pentecost (to symbolize the Holy Spirit).
Lent is the forty days from Ash Wednesday to Easter. The Sundays are NOT part of the forty days. Therefore, there is no fasting on Palm Sunday or any Sunday during Lent.
