Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter. It is the sixth and last Sunday in Lent, and the first day of Holy Week.

Palm Sunday commemorates the time when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and the people waved palm branches and cheered him as the coming King. The Old Testament prophet Zechariah had foretold the arrival of the Messianic king in Jerusalem via the humble conveyance of a colt.
