Palm Sunday

Yesterday was Palm Sunday. As Fithboy illustrates here, a week before his crucifixion, Jesus rode into Jerusalem riding on a donkey. "The Coming of Zion's King – See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey" Zechariah 9:9. The people sang his praises and laid palm branches and their cloaks on the ground before him.
