Palm Sunday signals the beginning of the Holy Week. 

It is when we remember and celebrate the day Jesus entered Jerusalem as Savior and King. 

His solemn mood and lowly method of transportation are poignant considering his knowledge of the suffering he was about to endure, and it offers a stark contrast to the happy and celebratory mood of the crowd. 

Properly marking the occasion with a holiday is one of the many ways that Christian churches can honor our Lord’s memory and sacrifices. By celebrating Palm Sunday, we are able to better know and love him.
