Palm Sunday
9am

A cloud of witnesses

A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven’ (Matthew 21: 8-9)

There is nothing like a procession to bring out the crowds, and as Jesus on the donkey surrounded by his disciples comes over the top of the Mount of Olives, the excitement is palpable. Everyone forgot the warnings that Jesus had given and got into party mood.
