Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week, is the celebration of the Passion of
Christ. The Passion is the retelling of the story of Jesus who was abandoned on the cross and died for the sins
of the people.
With a procession of palm branches and shouts of “Hosannas,” for the Messiah we begin. The story continues,
with music and drama we will see portrayed for us; the Last Supper with his disciples, Jesus in the Garden of
Gethsemane betrayed by Judas, and Jesus’ trial in front of Pilate. Finally in our Passion story, Jesus comes
forward to be crowned with thorns, mocked, finally being led away to Calvary.
The day begins with shouts of joy, but ends in silence – the Lord’s passion has begun. The somberness of the
Passion, which is the focus of Holy Week, is thus framed by the joy of Easter, which is its purpose and culmination.
