Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, the most sacred time in the church year. It is a day of paradox—a celebration of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, yet also the first step toward His suffering and death. As this service begins, we wave palm branches, joining the crowds who shouted “Hosanna!”, longing for Jesus to take His throne. But as the story unfolds, those same voices cry “Crucify Him!” The King they welcomed is handed over to wear a crown of thorns. In keeping with the long tradition of the Church, we remember that the cross and resurrection cannot be separated. If we skip from Palm Sunday’s celebration to Easter’s victory, we miss the heart of the story—the suffering of Christ, the depth of His love, and the cost of our salvation. This is why we enter Holy Week by hearing the whole story—both the palms and the passion, both the Hosannas and the cross.
