Palm Sunday...the start of Holy Week.

Palm Sunday is the start of Holy Week...historically it was the week that Jesus was wellcomed into Jerusalem to..."fullfill his Passion and Resurrection".....

.. in ancient Jerusalem the palm was a 'symbol of triumph and victory'...

when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt..the Jews waved palms and also carpeted his path with palms..

in our local churches ..the palms would then be blessed...before entering the church...

..the " vestments for the day are also a scarlet red, the color of blood.....


..the congregation then walk in procession into the church.....


....the next holy day this week will be Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday..the day that Jesus washes the feet of the disciples before he has his 'Last Supper' and also the day that he is betrayed by Judas Iscariot..then followed next by 'Good Friday' the day when Jesus dies on the cross ( the start of the Easter Tridium) and culminating on Easter Sunday....' on the third day Jesus rises from the dead'.....sounds like a movie scene huh...but its been replaying every year for the last 2000 years....

cheers!
