Palm Sundays

Triumphal entry commemorations

Palm Sundays is the plural of Palm Sunday, the Christian feast day commemorating Jesus's entry into Jerusalem, when crowds waved palm branches and laid them in his path.

It falls on the Sunday before Easter.

The plural appears when referring to multiple years: I remember Palm Sundays from my childhood, when we'd process around the church with palm fronds.
