Palm Sunday is the
Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before
Easter. The feast commemorates
Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in each of the
four canonical Gospels. Its name originates from the
palm branches waved by the crowd to greet and honor
Jesus Christ as he entered the city.
Palm Sunday marks the first day of Holy Week; in Western Christianity, this is the beginning of the last week of the solemn season of Lent, preceding Eastertide, while in Eastern Christianity, Holy Week commences after the conclusion of Great Lent.
