Palm Sunday, now referred to as "Passion Sunday", marks the beginning of Holy Week, which concludes on Easter Sunday. The Scriptures reveal that when Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds greeted him by waving palm branches and covering his path with palm branches. Immediately following this great time of celebration in the ministry of Jesus, he begins his journey to the cross. The biblical account of Palm Sunday can be found in Matthew 26:1-27:65; Mark 14:1-15:47; Luke 22:1-23:56 and John 17:1-19:42 this weekends collection is your easter gift to your parish.
