Palm Sunday marks the moment Jesus arrived in Jerusalem shortly before his death. The Bible records describe crowds greeting him waving palm branches and laying them on the road in welcome.
Jesus chose to ride into the city on a donkey rather than a horse. Arriving in this way demonstrated that his way was one of peace and humility - in contrast to leaders who choose the way of exercising force and wielding power over others.
Small crosses made of palm leaves are distributed by all the churches in Mid-Trent on this day.
The Palm Cross is kept for the rest of the year as reminder of the courage and love of Jesus as he faced death for our sake.
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week... the days leading up to the great celebration of Easter, when Jesus was raised again to the life that he lives now and for ever.
