Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter, which is also the sixth and last Sunday in Lent. Palm Sunday is also known as the first day of "Holy Week," and is the celebration of Jesus Christ entering Jerusalem the week before he was crucified. It is called "Palm Sunday" because when Jesus entered Jerusalem, he was greeted with waving palm branches, and his path was also covered with palm branches. At some churches, Palm Sunday is also known as "Passion Sunday."
