He enters Jerusalem
Jesus came to Jerusalem for the Passover riding a young donkey. People spread their cloaks on the road, cut branches from the trees and welcomed him shouting: “Hosanna!” That is why the Sunday before Easter is called Palm Sunday.
The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Matthew 21:1-11 · Read it in the Bible
