1. What is Palm Sunday and why is it celebrated? Ans.- Palm Sunday recalls an event in the Christian Scripture (The New Testament) of Jesus entering into Jerusalem and being greeted by the people waving palm branches. For Christians, it is a reminder of the welcoming of Jesus into our hearts and of our willingness to follow him. 2. What are the traditions of Palm Sunday? Ans.- Usually, people mark Palm Sunday by attending parades, or going to Mass (church service), where they are given small crosses made of palms, or blessed palm leaves, to take home with them. 3. What do you do with palms from Palm Sunday? Ans.- Because these palms are sacramentals, they cannot be thrown away. They must either be burned or buried to be disposed of correctly. Many are returned to the church to be burned and used for ashes next Ash Wednesday. 4. How do you celebrate Palm Sunday at home? Ans.- Display your palm in your house to remember Jesus' importance. If you go to a Palm Sunday service, you can continue celebrating at home by saving the blessed palm from the service. Place it on a mantle or above a doorway so you can see it every day and remember Jesus' sacrifice.
