RELIGIOUS HISTORY: On Palm Sunday, the path to Golgotha
Just finished watching the beautiful, live coverage of Palm Sunday services from the Vatican. I have forgotten why the Latin Church reads the Passion on Palm Sunday. This is a day of joy - the triumphant arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem. The Passion does not take place until Friday, so why those readings today?
I am in no way deserving of our Lord’s love and forgiveness. But my spirit is joyous because of His love for all of us.
You “guys” make me feel so much better.
I have a bad case if the pouty lip “weebies.” cause I got called into work yesterday, and I’m scheduled on Easter Sunday.
I feel like I’m looking in through the window to the Holy Week candy store. :o(
There is so much information on this thread about Palm Sunday that I am “forced” to ping all of you to it. (LOL!)
Enjoy — and have a blessed Holy Week!
My favorite is to make a crown out of the palms. I hang the crown over the painting I have of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. That reminds me I have to get some black cloth to cover the painting and my wall crucifix for Good Friday.
Something that always gets me about this Gospel; what is with the young man who is dressed in a loin cloth who runs off naked after being grabbed.
I’ve heard a couple theories about who this may be.
Got any feedback? It is so odd to place this into the story for no apparent reason. I think tht I have heard that the young man was the Gospel writer, that it was St. John??
Any ideas? Or simply nothing deeper than what it appears to be.
Thanks for the ping; post; thread. Informative. Educational.
