On Sunday, March 29, Christians throughout the world observed Palm Sunday. This day inaugurates the most important week of the Christian year, beginning with Jesus’ glorious entry into Jerusalem and ending with his crucifixion and death. Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday, remembers Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, as crowds gathered around him, waving palms and shouting “Hosanna!”. Many ELCA congregations commemorate Palm Sunday with processions and waving of palm branches.
