Church Palm Sunday celebration, history and traditions

Orthodox holiday of Palm Sunday always celebrated a week before Easter, so there is no fixed date.

It marks an entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. From that moment begins its entry on his "godfather" way.

Jesus went to it voluntarily, with a love for the people and the Almighty with faith to his father.

Entry into Jerusalem history

Jerusalem at the time was under the rule of the Romans. The Jews believed that the Messiah will come, and Easter would free them from bondage. Before you come to Jerusalem, Jesus revived the dead two days ago and buried in a rock Lazarus, brother of Mary and Martha. To do this, Jesus did not engage in any ritual, just I looked at the sky and said:

"Father! I thank thee that thou hast heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but said it is for the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me "(John, Ch. 11)

The news of this miraculous return from the dead spread rapidly between people and when Jesus entered Jerusalem, the people welcomed him as a messenger of God and truly believed that he was the Messiah.

Once the custom - the winner enters the city on a donkey, then the world, and if on horseback, then with bad intentions, with the war. Knowing this, Jesus decided to keep the tradition and to show everyone that he wants only peace.

Near the village of Bethphage Jerusalem was located. When he reached her, Jesus asked his disciples to get him a young donkey. Students soon led him and the donkey and the donkey. In the ass laid their clothes on the donkey, Jesus sat down, picked up the palm - the symbol of peace and went to town.

He came out to meet him all the people. People stele at his feet his clothes, throwing palm branches and flowers. Why Palm Sunday is also called Palm Sunday or flowering weeks.

In Jerusalem, Jesus drove the money changers out of the temple of God, and shopkeepers, throwing their desks. He said that the temple was built for prayer and not for transactions, not to deceive and not for evil. After he told the people about God almighty, and about what awaits him.

By Jesus reached out many sick, blind, lame, and the poor, and he healed them all, he strengthened the faith of the people, that he is the Messiah. After finishing all the works in this city, Jesus left him. But not all praised him and recognized the messenger of God.

The high priests of Jerusalem hated Jesus for the national love for him and conceived to destroy. Jesus knew about it but did not want to change anything, because the will of God voluntarily for the good of all of us and all future generations.

In Russia the day entry of Jesus into Jerusalem say to X century. Palm trees do not grow here, and the plant is one of the first awakening to life after the winter, it is the willow. Therefore, what we call Palm Sunday.

Verbena should be cut in advance and on the Saturday before Palm Sunday to bless the church. Earlier in Russia were held solemn processions, simulating the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem. In the absence of a donkey in a decked horse. The priest was riding her horse. Under her bridle he led the mayor, the governor, and the capital of the king himself. Later, the procession was canceled.

But lighting willow in the church there. When people stand with willow twigs and candles in their hands, they are, how would also meet Jesus entering Jerusalem.

It is possible at this time to ask the Lord for healing yourself and your family, for help in childbirth, the possibility to conceive a child to those who would not succeed. Those who truly believe in Jesus, can feel the signs sent to it over and be sure to get the execution of their requests.
