In our life there is always a place for a holiday and not necessarily a calendar one. The holiday should be in our souls, hearts.
The holiday Palm Sunday or Palm Sunday has a full name and sounds like this: "Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem." The history of Palm Sunday began when Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem. He rode in on a donkey, which became a symbol of humility. Then people recognized him as the Messiah, spread their clothes under his donkey's feet and threw palm branches. His entry into Jerusalem became a type of entry into Paradise.
Almost spring and the air is fresh -
About this bird gossip.
To our new hopes!
Where did this day come from?
I stroke the willow with my hand,
I will take her to church with me.
Messiah came to Jerusalem
Let us pray for him with you.
How bright and pure in the soul,
... warm and very good!
Since God is very close today,
He has already come to the temple ...

In Rus', palm trees did not grow, they were replaced by blossoming willow branches, which are a symbol of life and spring awakening. Palm Sunday or the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem is one of the holidays that appeared in Rus' in the 10th century.
On this day in Rus', it was customary to consecrate the willow in the temple. It is believed that after the consecration, these twigs have healing properties.
According to Orthodox custom, Christians keep consecrated willows throughout the year and decorate icons in the house with them.
Willow in the house - from the house of trouble.
There, sorrow, envy, fear!
There will be victories
Yes smiles on the lips.
Out of sight all evil spirits
Fly away from here
Let them die of hunger
Greed, stupidity, anger and anger!

Palm week exists in the folk calendar of the Slavs. It ends on Palm Sunday, followed by Holy Week. The main folk rituals of the week are associated with willow and are held on Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday is named Lazarev. In Russian villages, Saturday was celebrated merrily and crowded. Willows were broken that day.
At midnight, young people went around the house with songs. At the gate they shouted: “Unlock, unlock, young, beat with a camel, give health more than before!” Entering the hut, they lightly beat the sleepers with willow branches with the words: “Willow whip, beat to tears!”, “Get up early, beat the ram!”, “We beat to be healthy.” On Saturday they cook mash, buckwheat pancakes, porridge, fish chicken.

Palm Sunday is the favorite holiday of Russian people. In Rus', the snow barely melts, among the melt waters the willow blossoms first. A legend was born. It says that a long time ago the willow was a woman, and she had a lot of children, that the woman argued with the Mother herself -Earth that it is more fruitful than the Earth. Then Mother Earth got angry and turned the woman into a willow.

The Slavs honored the consecrated willow and believed that it had a cleansing power. They believed that with the help of willow, livestock could be saved from spoilage and disease. They baked bagels for Palm Sunday, consecrated them in church and fed them to livestock.
Willow catkins were eaten as a cure for diseases. Sick children were bathed in water, in which willow branches were placed, for cleansing and healing.
Early in the morning, after the church was lit, parents whipped their children with willow branches “to grow up and be healthy.” For the same purpose, cattle were whipped everywhere.

III . Sit down, calm down.
Guys! Easter is coming soon. There is very little left, and a week before Easter, on Sunday, the feast of the Lord's entry into Jerusalem is celebrated.
Listen to my story:
The Savior performed many miracles. What are these miracles? (healing the sick, the blind, turned water into wine)
And the last miracle is the resurrection of Lazarus. The news of this quickly spread. All people believed in Christ, they called him the Savior, the King. He is truly a Savior. He saves people from a sinful life with his life, his deeds, his good deeds, and even for human sins he will be crucified on the cross. But some people thought that he would save the evil king and become king himself. But everyone was happy when Jesus came to Jerusalem.
Jesus took a white donkey. Why did Jesus Christ ride not on a white horse like all victors, but on a white donkey? Horses were taken to war, and the donkey was a peaceful animal. By this Christ wanted to show that he came in peace, not to kill anyone, but to deliver people from sin, to save them.
Many people came out to meet Jesus: they cut branches from trees, spread them in front of the donkey, which carried the savior. People took off their clothes and also spread them on the road. And they all shouted joyfully: “Dangling in the highest!”
Look at this icon, which is called "Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem." This icon will be placed in the temple for the feast, candles will be lit and decorated with flowers and willows.
And here in Russia this holiday is also called Palm Sunday. In Jerusalem, people greeted the Savior with palm branches in their hands, but in our country palm trees do not grow - only willows open their buds and the branches seem to be covered with fluffy balls. On this day, people with a bunch of willows and lighted candles in their hands stand in the temple. The priest sprinkles these branches with holy water and people take them home and put them in vases near the icons (showing a bouquet). These consecrated twigs were kept for a whole year, and when he consecrated new ones, these can be burned and the ashes must be buried only in the earth.
IV . On this day, people congratulate each other. Today we will also make greeting cards.
I distribute blanks;
pay attention to lumps (lambs) and attach;
showing different examples.
At the end of the work, children read poems about willow:
Spring has not yet sewn
Forests, meadows shirts,
Only the willow dissolved
Curly lambs.
Willow branches give us
We carry them to God's temple.
And to the sound of a bell
We put branches at the icons.
The lesson is over.
Glory to you, Lord!

Palm Sunday. In fact, it should not be called Palm, but Palm. Why? To understand this, one must recall the events that took place almost two thousand years ago, in the capital of Judea - Jerusalem.
Correctly, this Great Twelfth Feast is called the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. It is solemnly celebrated by the Church with memories of the royal glorification of Jesus Christ before His death on the cross.
The description of this event, one of the important events of the last earthly days of Jesus Christ, is in all four Gospels. What they say is somewhat different from each other, but the essence is the same.
The feast of the Jewish Passover was approaching. There was a real pandemonium in the capital - people from all over Palestine converged on Jerusalem. People rejoiced and shouted, looking at the Mount of Olives - the highest of those that surrounded the city.
They seemed to be waiting for something. What? What were they happy about? The people were waiting for Christ to enter the city!
The Savior had been to Jerusalem before, but he had never been greeted with such jubilation. Why? Of course, you remember what miracle Christ performed the day before in the village of Bethany?
He raised Lazarus, who had already been in the grave for four days! The news of this miracle spread quickly, and then the people learned that the Great Wonderworker was coming to Jerusalem. And people came out to greet Him!
On the morning of that day, Jesus asked his disciples to bring a young colt to him.
And so He appeared. Descending from the Mount of Olives, royally seated on a young donkey, the Savior rode into the majestic Jewish capital.
- Why do you think the Savior asked the disciples to enter on a donkey, and not on a horse?
In the country of Palestine, where the Savior lived, there were few horses, and they were used mainly for war. To sit on a horse was then a sign of war. And the Entrance of the Lord into Jerusalem was a symbol of peace: the King of the world entered the capital on a donkey - a symbol of peace.
The people were waiting for Jesus, the people went out to meet Him, laying palm branches and their clothes on the way. They shouted joyfully, “Hosanna! Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" ("Hosanna" means "Save us")
The greeting of the people meant: "Long live the one who comes in the name of the Lord, sent from God!" The reason for such joy of the people at the meeting of Christ was the miracles performed by Him: the healing of the sick, the resurrection of the dead.
Meeting the Savior, the people rejoiced and did not know about the mournful events that were about to come.
And Christ, looking at Jerusalem, at this crowd of people, wept. “Jerusalem, Jerusalem!” He said. “If only this day you understood what serves your salvation! But you don’t see it now. because you did not understand the time when the Lord visited you ... "
Why did He say this in the midst of such celebration? Yes, because all this rejoicing of the people was built on misunderstanding. People hoped that Christ would enter Jerusalem and take earthly power into His hands. They were waiting for a great and powerful king who would free the people of Israel from the rule of the Romans!
They praised Him as a victorious king, and no one understood that it was the King of all Kings, the Conqueror of death, that the Lord Himself enters Jerusalem to sacrifice Himself for the sins of people in order to fulfill the prophecies and transform this world.
Only to Jesus, the Son of God, the future was revealed, only HE knew what would happen to him: HE went to voluntary humiliation and suffering.
HE knew that very soon His painful death awaited, knew that he would be betrayed and crucified on the cross.
He knew that the week of His suffering would begin tomorrow. That this same crowd, instead of "Glory to the Son of David!" will shout: “Take him, crucify him!”
Clothes and palm trees
Decorated road.
What rejoicing!
What a blessing!
Solemnly, with glory
People meet God
So that later His ...
Crucifixion betray!
And now, just like two thousand years ago, the Lord is coming to all of us, whoever we are and wherever we are. We should try not to be so changeable and fickle as the Jerusalem crowd.
Another well-known biblical story is associated with this holiday - the expulsion of merchants from the temple. At the Passover feast in Jerusalem, the Jews were obliged to “slaughter the Passover lambs and offer sacrifices to God, in connection with which sacrificial cattle were driven into the temple and set up shops to sell everything necessary for sacrifices.
After his entry into Jerusalem, Jesus went straight to the temple, saw the merchants and drove them out: “And Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of the selling doves.
He said to them: It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.” (Matthew 21:12-13).
- And why do we call the feast of the Lord's Entry into Jerusalem also Palm Sunday?
Palm trees do not grow in Russia, so we cannot bring palm branches to the Church on this day. In Rus', the branches of the date palm were replaced by willow branches.
But why exactly willow has become in our country a symbol of the feast of the Lord's Entry into Jerusalem?
In Russia, the week before Easter is usually still cold. The trees are just preparing to move away from sleep, the green leaves are still very far away. And only the willow released white-gray fluffy living balls from its buds on the branches.
We bring fresh branches to the Church, where they are consecrated by a priest, then we take them home and keep them all year, until the next Palm Sunday.
They remind us of the future resurrection. Only a week will pass, and next Sunday we will celebrate the Feast of Holidays - Holy Easter of Christ! This gives a special solemnity to the event that we remember.
As you stand with willow branches in the Church, think of Christ, of what he had to endure for us. Imagine that you meet Him and rejoice in Him.
The Lord enters Jerusalem to die and rise again, and to raise us all to eternal life. Therefore, we sing: “Glory in the highest, blessed is he who goes in the name of the Lord!” Happy holiday, dear guys!
Troparion: The general resurrection, before your passion, assuring you raised Lazarus from the dead, Christ God. The same and we are like children, bearing signs of victory, We cry out to you the conqueror of death: Hosanna in the highest, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
