Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the triumphal entry called Palm Sunday?+

Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as recorded in John 12:13, where people took palm branches to welcome Jesus. The event occurs one week before Easter and marks the beginning of Holy Week in Christian traditions.

Why did Jesus ride a donkey instead of a horse?+

Jesus rode a donkey to fulfill the messianic prophecy in Zechariah 9:9, which describes the coming king arriving on a donkey. This symbolized His peaceful, humble nature as king rather than the image of a conquering warrior on a horse.

What happened between the triumphal entry and Jesus's arrest?+

During the week following His triumphal entry, Jesus cleansed the temple (Matthew 21:12-13), taught in the temple, performed miracles including healing the blind and lame (Matthew 21:14), and engaged in debates with religious leaders. His arrest occurred on Thursday night or early Friday morning of that same week.
