Palm Sunday is a significant Christian observance that falls on the Sunday before Easter Sunday. It commemorates the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, as described in the Bible, when crowds greeted Him by waving palm branches and laying their cloaks on the road to honor Him as a king. This day marks the beginning of Holy Week, a period of reflection and devotion leading up to Easter. Palm Sunday services often include the blessing of palm branches, which are distributed to the congregation, followed by a procession into the church to reenact Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.
