Palm Sunday, also known as Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion, is celebrated on the Sunday before Easter as the sixth Sunday of Lent. It commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, marked by the waving of palm branches as a symbol of honor and victory. This day also marks the beginning of Holy Week, leading up to Jesus’ Passion, crucifixion, and resurrection, encapsulating the dramatic shift from triumph to tragedy within a short span of time.
