Palm Sunday 2017


Today is Palm Sunday the first day of Holy Week, the most solemn in time the Christian calendar.

I love the Scriptures telling the Gospel of how Jesus Christ came to Jerusalem on a donkey and the crowd greeted him with Palms and shouts of Hosanna and then five days later on Good Friday cry out ‘Crucify Him, Crucify Him”.




This happened over two thousand years ago and we are still remembering it till today.  



It carries on to Holy Thursday, Good Friday and culminating with Easter Sunday (the Easter Tridium) a week later when Jesus is resurrected. 



The Celebrant and Commentators relate the Gospel of the Passion of Christ from his entry into Jerusalem  till his Crucifixion on Mount Calvary
