Palm Sunday

“As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
saying to them, ‘Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her
colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord
needs them, and he will send them right away.’ This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
‘Say to the Daughter of Zion, see, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’
The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt, placed
their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while
others cut branches from trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and
those that followed shouted, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David!’ ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Hosanna in the
highest!’ When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, ‘Who is this?’ The crowds
answered, ‘This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.’”
Matthew 21:1-11
