Christianity

On Palm Sunday Christian worshipers celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, an event that took place the week before the Lord's death and resurrection. On this day, Christians also remember Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, praise God for the gift of salvation, and look expectantly to the Lord's second coming.

Many churches celebrate by blessing palm branches and distributing them to the congregation. This is followed by songs of traditional hymns, making crosses with the palms and waving/ carrying them throughout the service.
