Palm Sunday

A moveable feast in the church calendar used by Catholic, Orthodox, and some Protestant Christians. Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter Sunday, and a celebration of the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his execution. The crowd greeted him by waving palm fronds, giving the day its name. It is the beginning of what is described in the Catholic church in the modern era as "Passion Week." In the Passion Week liturgy on Palm Sunday palm fronds are blessed outside the church building and a procession enters, singing, re-enacting the entry into Jerusalem.
