This weekend is Palm Sunday, celebrating Jesus Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the beginning of what Christians call Holy Week.
The best-known description of Palm Sunday is found in Luke (19:37-40):
When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
“I tell you,” he replied, “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
