Hosanna!

Jesus began His triumphant journey from Jericho (Lk. 18:35 – 19:40) to Jerusalem as the Children of Israel did many years before. Joshua (O.T. name for Jesus “deliverer”) began with Jericho and David completed the journey with his triumphant entry into Jerusalem with the Ark of the Covenant. Palm Sunday is the beginning of what the Church has called Holy Week or Passion Week. Heretofore, Jesus avoided any public announcement.
