Today is Palm Sunday, the Christian moveable feast which always falls on the Sunday before Easter Sunday.
The feast commemorates an event mentioned by all four Canonical Gospels Mark 11:1-11, Matthew 21:1-11, Luke 19:28-44, and John 12:12-19: the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his Passion. It is also called Passion Sunday or Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion.
In many Christian churches, Palm Sunday is marked by the distribution of palm leaves (often tied into crosses) to the assembled worshippers.
Throughout Montreal one can see people with palm leaves tied into crosses.

So, now included with your law lessons, you feel you have to tell people about what they already know - Palm Sunday?
Good grief.
Palm Sunday is probably NOT known to a lot of people on liblogs because Liberals have shown themselves to be anti-Christian, atheistic heathens who despise anything to do with Christ, God or religion. Or ridicule those who do subscribe.
So he's doing most readers a service.
Anon 4:44 - what an absolutely uninformed and stupid statement from an either uneducated, naive or absolutely stupid person on the right wing side.
Everyone I know, and that's a lot of people, know what Palm Sunday is.
I can't believe there are such partisan stupid people out there.
Go back to school - learn something, learn to read and "comprehend" what you're reading.

Truth hurts, doesn't it?
