Palm Sunday is the day that begins Holy Week – the King of Kings enters Jerusalem!
During Mass on Palm Sunday, we listen to the story of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and have a palm procession – either in the church or from another location to the church itself, whilst singing “Hosanna” – just like the people who witnessed it at the time of Jesus.
We would also hear a long Gospel reading called the “Passion”, which is a word to describe the suffering and death of Jesus. We start from the Last Supper and read right through to when Jesus is laid in the tomb. This helps us to prepare for this very special and solemn week, when we journey with Jesus to try to understand and appreciate all that he went through for us.
