Palm Sunday (or Passion Sunday to others) signals the official start of the Holy Week. My eldest once asked me, "Mom, why do we buy those leafy things and wave them in church then put them up on the window at home?". On Palm Sunday, Jesus made his entrance into Jerusalem and the crowd greeted him by waving palm branches and laying them on the ground as he entered. This was a time of celebration for Jerusalem, but the beginning of Jesus' painful journey, which ends in his crucifixion.Have a peaceful and safe Holy Week, everyone.
