be able to act only in Jerusalem - the capital of the Jews. Enthusiastic crowds greeted Jesus and

under his feet threw palm branches (John 12,13), so this is initially the name Sunday Palmarum ie

Sunday palms. Naming Palm Sunday probably came with us from the fact that palm trees grow with

us and celebrities are welcomed with flowers. Perhaps by the fact that this day falls in early spring

season, when the first flowers appear. On Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services

to read and sing God's Passion.
