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).

Most parishes collect them the Sunday before Ash Wednesday to burn. The ashes they distribute on Ash Wednesday are old, blessed, burned palms. As with any blessed item you can either burn them, bury them, or take them to your church.

They believe that Jesus arrived in Jerusalem for fulfilling his mission of salvation,and the entrance of Jesus in Jerusalem is celebrated during Palm Sunday.This is the messianic entrance of the anointed one.

Luke 19 tells us that Jesus traveled from Jericho on his way to Jerusalem, where the people spread their coats and cried, "Blessed is the King Who comes in the name of the Lord; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" Within about a week, these same people were shouting for Him to be crucified.

Yes

In my knowledge, i think that after palm Sunday Jesus had a last supper (last pass-over meal when Jseus changed bread+wine into body+blood of Jesus) with his disciples which is now known as Holy Thursday.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning in many denominations of Holy Week, which commemorates the last week of Jesus' life. The Passover and Jesus' arrest, were on the Thursday night, now observed as Maundy Thursday. His crucifixion, death, and entombment were on Friday (Good Friday), and the Resurrection occurred early on Sunday morning (Easter Sunday).

He told his disciples to bring him a foal, the colt of a donkey.

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.

i think it is celebrated the same everywhere

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.

it is Palm Sunday and then it is Easter Sunday.

One of many Scriptures:

Matthew 27:11 New King James Version:

Jesus Faces Pilate

11 Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."

Now, Christians go to Mass on Palm Sunday and receive Palms. They sing the praises of Jesus and thank God for his wonderful gifts. Then they bring the Palms home, usually making them into crosses and hanging them up around your house. But make sure the Palms don't touch the ground. If they do, Christians have to burn them to show respect for a blessed thing.

because on Easter jesus told his disciples to go get a donkey.As they got it Jesus rode on the donkey to Jerusalem and people shouted Hosanna to the son of David and started waving their palms.....

Palm Sunday is celebrated today by :

In church,People often wear festive things, carry palms, decorate etc.

It is fun.

Often for young children, there are games and fun things to do.

Sometimes take communion.

Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter :)))))

Palm Sunday signifies the day when Jesus of Nazareth entered Jerusalem on a donkey and was received well. This begins what is called the "passion week" which are all the events leading up to Jesus' death and resurrection.

Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter Sunday. Having said this, for Palm Sunday to have fallen on April 12th, it would mean that Easter would have fallen on April 19th of the same year.

According to records, the last time Easter Sunday fell on April 19th and Palm Sunday fell on April 12th was in 1992.

Here are a few of the dates I have found where Palm Sunday would have fallen on April 12th.

1908

1981

1987

1992

and the next date being 2071.

I have to add a bit more information on here, this is very interesting to me, I've started back in 1700 all the way up until the year 2299, and found these dates of Easter Sunday falling on April 19th, thus Palm Sunday being on the 12th.

A few special things happen. First, the congregation usually receives blessed palms reminding us of how Jesus entered Jerusalem as a popular healer and teacher of the people. Also, Palms Sunday officially begins the Holy week, the final week of the Lenten season of preparation for Easter.

In the Roman Catholic Church, before 1960 the Fifth Sunday of Lent was called Passion Sunday because the (lengthy) Passion of the Lord was read at Mass as the Gospel reading. In 1960, Blessed Pope John XXIII changed the name of Passion Sunday to "First Sunday of Passion-tide," to conform to what Pope Pius XII had done earlier--he had changed the name of Palm Sunday to "Second Sunday of Passion-tide, or Palm Sunday." That lasted until 1969 when Pope Paul VI abolished Passion-tide (as a sort of sub-season of Lent), so as of right now the Sunday before Palm Sunday is officially known as the Fifth Sunday of Lent.

But--I suspect many people would know what you are talking about when you say "Passion Sunday", particularly old-fashioned or Traditional Roman Catholics and very high-church Episcopalians

Yes, Lent ends on Holy Thursday and the Easter Triduum begins.

Palm Sunday has fallen on April 1 three times in the past century, nine times in the past three centuries.
