Palm Sunday
Drag
Palm Sunday||PALM SUNDAY<br> Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry <br>of Jesus into Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. The <br>gospels record the arrival of Jesus riding into the city <br>on a donkey, while the crowds spread their cloaks <br>and palm branches on the street and shouted <br>“Hosanna to the Son of David†and “Blessed is he who <br>comes in the name of the Lord†to honor him as their <br>long-awaited Messiah and King. The significance of <br>Jesus riding a donkey and having his way paved with <br>palm branches is a fulfillment of a prophecy spoken <br>by the prophet Zechariah (Zechariah 9:9). <br> In biblical times, the regional custom called for <br>kings and nobles arriving in procession to ride on the <br>back of a donkey. The donkey was a symbol of peace; <br>those who rode upon them proclaimed peaceful <br>intentions. The laying of palm branches indicated <br>that the king or dignitary was arriving in victory or <br>triumph

Maundy Thursday||Thursday evening is the first of the three parts of the <br>Great Three Days, the Sacred Triduum, the liturgy of <br>Maundy Thursday. The word “maundy†comes from <br>the Latin word for “commandment,†and this day is <br>named thus as it is the day of the Last Supper, the <br>institution of what we now celebrate as the Lord’s <br>Supper, and it is the day we received the “new <br>commandment.†After Jesus washed the feet of his <br>disciples, he said, “I give you a new commandment, <br>that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, <br>you also should love one another.â€

Good Friday||Good Friday is truly ‘good’. Its sorrow is a Godly <br>sorrow. This commemoration of Christ’s death <br>reminds us of the human sin that caused this death. <br>And we see again that salvation comes only through <br>Godly sorrow—both God’s and, in repentance, ours. <br>To pursue happiness, we must first experience <br>sorrow. He who goes forth sowing tears returns in <br>joy. At the same time, of course, Good Friday recalls <br>for us the greatness and wonder of God’s love—that <br>He should submit to death for us.
