Palm Sunday - March 24, 2024
This Sunday is Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week! Here are 3 things to know about today!
1. What is this day called?
The day is called both “Palm Sunday” and “Passion Sunday.” The first name comes from the fact that it commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, when the crowd had palm branches. The second name comes from the fact that the narrative of the Passion is read on this Sunday (it otherwise wouldn't be read on a Sunday, since the next Sunday is about the Resurrection).
