Palm Sunday
Holy Week's start
Palm Sunday is the Christian holy day commemorating Jesus's entry into Jerusalem, when crowds welcomed him by waving palm branches and laying them in his path.
It falls on the Sunday before Easter, marking the beginning of Holy Week.
Many churches distribute palm fronds to congregants, who may fashion them into crosses.
