What plant do palm Sunday branches come from?
From the trees just outside Jerusalem. It's called Palm Sunday because this is when the Jews laid palm leaves on the road as Jesus entered Jerusalem.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Palm Sunday is a Christian feast which is the Sunday before Easter Sunday. It is also called Passion Sunday or Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion. In many Christian churches on Palm Sunday Palm leaves, often tied into the shape of crosses are given out to everyone who attends. In some places, palm leaves are unobtainable, and other trees like box, yew, willow or other native trees have to be used instead. Th Sunday was sometimes called Yew Sunday if they were using yew trees or sometimes Branch Sunday.On the first Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and people put their cloaks and Palm leaves on the ground, to make it more comfortabe to walk on, and waved them as he went past. that's my re homework. :)
