It was to fulfill the Prophet Zechariah's prophecy that the Messiah would enter Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Also, Jesus was not a king with all the earthly trappings of wealth. It signified his great humility to be riding upon a beast of burden. He himself was to bear the burden of sins.

What was housing like for the rich in the time of Jesus?

The rich of that time had good housing by the areas itself. For example Nazareth were Jesus was raised, was a poor people area. It was also where the worst people of society of those days habitated. So Rich people in those times lived in areas away from the poor. The Bible describes the castles and palaces of kings but it does not give a complete description of a rich persons house. When rich persons wanted to reach Jesus for some reason, they had to leave their homes and ride a good distance in order to see him since they lived in areas away from the poor.

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 did Jesus ride into Jerusalem at the Passover?

Mark's Gospel, followed by both Luke and John, simply had Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a colt, but Matthew expanded the story, making it seem ridiculous:21:2 Go into the village over against you and straightway you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her, loose them and bring them unto me. 21:5 Behold thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass and a colt the foal of an ass 21:7 And they brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.So, in Mark, Luke and John, Jesus rode a colt or young ass into Jerusalem. In Matthew, Jesus rode both an ass and a colt, apparently at the same time.
