In the Christian world today it is Palm Sunday.  The church celebrates Jesus coming into Jerusalem at Passover riding on a donkey.   This was just prior to His being arrested, illegally tried, and crucified.  The road was filled with people spreading their cloaks and palm branches in His path as they shouted, " Hosanna, to the son of David."  "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest Heaven."  The city of Jerusalem was stirred with Jesus' presence and people asked, "Who is He?"  The crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Galilee in Nazareth."  The people thought he would be the one to free them from Roman persecution.  They yet didn't understand that He was God who came to die in order that they might have life everlasting.
