Christian History Institute shows the historical background of this quotation in context. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2021:9&version=NIV 2009-09-25T09:50:57-05:00 When Jesus entered the city during his final week, he was greeted with a crowd going in front of him chanting Hosanna to him. The word Hosanna means Save. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2011:1-11&version=NIV 2009-09-11T13:03:15-05:00 Days before his arrest and crucifixion, Jesus rode into Jerusalem to a jubilant reception. It was an important fulfillment of prophecy, and it would later reveal the fickle nature of humanity, as those who had celebrated Christ's arrival called for his death less than a week later. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2012:12-19&version=NIV 2009-07-20T11:10:03-05:00 "Palm Sunday" is so named because when Jesus made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, some of the people there waved palm branches to honor him as he passed. Unfortunately, many of the same people would be calling for his crucifixion just a few days later. http://biblica.com/niv/passagesearch.php?passage_request=Mark+11%3A1-11 2008-01-11T16:50:11-05:00 Mark 11:1-11 http://losnavegantes.net/pascua-resumen.html 2007-11-07T23:25:55-05:00 A series on Holy Week (Easter) in Spanish.
