Why Palm fronds? Fit for a celebration: Leviticus 23:39-40 Fit for the head of a people: Isaiah 9:14-15 Fit for a King: John 12:13-15 Fit for a Victor: 1 Maccabees 13:51-52a On the twenty-third day of the second month, in the one hundred and seventy-first year, the Jews entered the citadel with shouts of praise, the waving of palm branches, the playing of harps and cymbals and lyres, and the singing of hymns and canticles, because a great enemy of Israel had been crushed. Simon decreed that this day should be celebrated every year with rejoicing. Fit for a Martyr: Revelation 7:9-14

Why Celebrate Palm Sunday? Jesus goes to Jerusalem because it pleases the heart of the Father to redeem and reconcile us. Colossians 1:19-21 Jesus goes to Jerusalem because of the love of the Father toward us. John 3:16 Jesus goes to Jerusalem and, resisting the expectations of the crowd and the demands of the religious leaders, He steadfastly will give Himself in order that we can know and live in the grace, mercy and joy of the Lord. 2 Timothy 1:8-10; 1 John 3:1-3 Because we go where Jesus goes. Matthew 10:38
