📝 About Palm Sunday 2026
Palm Sunday is the Christian feast commemorating Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, celebrated on the Sunday before Easter to mark the beginning of Holy Week. According to the Gospels, crowds spread palm branches and cloaks on the road as Jesus rode into the city on a donkey, hailing him as the Messiah. Churches worldwide distribute blessed palm fronds to congregants, who often fashion them into crosses to keep throughout the year, and many hold outdoor processions reenacting the biblical event. In northern climates where palms are unavailable, branches of willow, yew, or olive are substituted, and in parts of Latin America, the celebration includes elaborate street carpets made of colored sawdust and flowers.
