Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter that begins the Holy Week. It is the day that we remember and celebrate the day Jesus entered into Jerusalem as Savior and King. As Jesus rode a donkey into the town of Jerusalem a large crowd gathered and laid palm branches and their cloaks across the road, giving Jesus royal treatment. The hundreds of people shouted \\u201cHosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!\\u201d
The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.(John 12:12 NIV)
Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage,[fn] at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,(Matthew 21:1 NKJV)
saying to them, \\u201cGo into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me.
(Matthew 21:2 NKJV)

They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, \\u201cHosanna![fn]\\u201d \\u201cBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!\\u201d[fn] \\u201cBlessed is the king of Israel!\\u201d(John 12:13 NIV)

Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:\\u201cDo not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey\\u2019s colt.\\u201d
(John 12:14-15 NIV)
