Yesterday was Palm Sunday!
Before we went to church yesterday, my dad cut some palm leaves from our palm tree and brought it to church so all of the kids can wave it around!
Why do we celebrate Palm Sunday? Good Question. The reason why is when Jesus and his disciples where at the mount of olives Jesus sent two disciples saying to them,
“ Go into the village opposite of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them, and bring them to me. “ and if anyone says something to you, you shall say, ‘ the lord has need of them, and immediately he will send them”.
After they brought the donkey and the colt, the disciples put their garments for Jesus to sit on. And most of the people spread their garments in the street and others were cutting branches from trees and also laying them in the street. And the multitudes going before him, and those who followed after were crying out saying, “ Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord; Hosanna in the highest!’
They shouted those words because just seing and being in the presents of Jesus is awesome and incredible and so many more words that I can not even think of!
It is a wonderful story!
Here is the verse: Mathew chapter 21 - 11.
And that is why they call it Palm Sunday!
