	Palm Sunday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Palm Sunday is a moveable feast in the church calendar observed by Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christians.
		Originally the Roman Catholic Church officially called this Sunday the Second Sunday of the Passion; in 1970 the formal designation was changed to Passion Sunday, a change that has caused considerable confusion because the latter term had heretofore been affixed to the previous Sunday, or the fifth within Lent.
		In the Passion Week liturgy, on Palm Sunday palm fronds (or in colder climates some kind of substitutes) are blessed outside the church building and a procession enters, singing, re-enacting the entry into Jerusalem.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Passion Sunday
		The fifth Sunday of Lent, a Sunday of the first class, not permitting the celebration of any feast, no matter of what rank, but allowing a commemoration of feasts which are not transferred.
		It is also known as Judica Sunday, from the first word of the Introit of Mass; Isti sunt, from the beginning of the first response in the Matins; Octava mediana, it being the eighth day after Laetare Sunday, called sometimes Mediana, or Middle of Lent; Repus, an abbreviation of repositus, i.e.
		Since after this Sunday there are not many more days of the Lenten season the Greek Church admonishes the faithful to special mortifications, and places before them the example of the penitent St. Mary of Egypt.

	Passion Sunday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The new meaning does not appear to have caught on with most laypersons within either polity, however, the majority of whom continue to use Palm Sunday to refer to the Sunday before Easter.
		When the term Passion Sunday was applied to the fifth Sunday of Lent, it marked the start of a two-week sub-season often referred to as Passiontide (and the formal name for it in the Roman Catholic calendar was actually the First Sunday of the Passion).
		Since Passion Sunday has no longer been used to mean the fifth Sunday of Lent, crimson has been worn during the last week before Easter only.

	PALM / PASSION SUNDAY - Year C
		Although the four passion narratives appear at the end of each of their respective gospels, these special literary witnesses to the saving death of Jesus were actually the first elements of the gospel to be formulated.
		Scholars, who have traced the process whereby these passion narratives were developed, agree that the transition from the earliest and simplest creeds, such as “Jesus is Lord!” and “Jesus lives!” to a full-blown narrative of Jesus’ arrest, trial, condemnation, execution and burial was prompted by the growing needs and ever-deepening understanding of the community.
		Catechetically, the passion traditions clarified Jesus’ death not as scandal or stumbling block but as the cornerstone on whom the living stones of the church are founded.

		Careful, repeated meditation on the Passion of Christ is important because the Passion is the climax of the entire history of Revelation and Redemption.
		That’s why Mel Gibson made an appearance in the Passion of the Christ – it was his hands that held down Jesus’s hands as they were nailed to the cross.

		The account of the Passion we are to hear informs us that six days later the same populace that had proclaimed him their hoped for king, were to call for his death.
		His triumphant rising from the dead that follows immediately from his passion is present throughout this week in the background, for it is the living, glorified Christ whose mysteries we live through.
		He has made that possible through the mystery of his son's passion and death and resurrection which continue to be offered to us in the sacraments and the prayer and faith of the Church.

		Our worship services on Passion Sunday likely will begin with a procession of palms accompanied by such a festive hymn as "All Glory, Laud, and Honor." Joy and excitement fill the air as young and old alike prepare to greet the king who rides into Jerusalem on an unlikely animal, a donkey.
		Jumping too quickly into the Passion ignores the fact that Jesus is the king and that he is to be glorified, indeed.
		Even if a well-planned Passion Sunday drama has the effect of bringing tears to the eyes of congregation members, who join in the shouts to crucify the Son of God, we have a responsibility as preachers to shed light on this somewhat confusing day.

	Passion Sunday: 20 March Matthew 27:11-54 (26:14 - 27:66)
		The passion narrative weaves together images from the psalms, especially Ps 22 and 69, to portray Jesus’ innocence and brokenness not as a derailment of the divine strategy, shortly to be rectified by resurrection and triumph, but as God’s way and ultimately as God’s being (when we reflect beyond Matthew).
		Our role is not to explain it down, but to open it up so that people will have an opportunity like generations before them to find in it their own story and find it in their own story.

		Rather than having the two Sundays both focus on triumph, Passion Sunday is presented as a time to reflect on the suffering and death of Jesus in a Sunday service of worship.

		Next Sunday's Gospel speaks of devils cast out "by the finger of God", and of the house of the soul, "swept and garnished".
		Therefore, the Fourth Sunday's Gospel will tell us of the nutriment which fills our emptiness: it is the story of Jesus, feeding of the multitude in the wilderness.
		And then the lesson for the Fifth Sunday speaks of the nature of the new life, the new condition of soul to which Lent's purification and nourishment should bring us: "Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

		Considering the fact that matoke is the main staple of the daily diet in Uganda, the people had paid great tribute to the Pope in cutting down and offering their “very sustenance” to welcome him.
		Although the briefest of all the passion accounts, Mark’s version is replete with specific details which make the telling of this saving story come alive with a fresh revelation of God’s love and a renewed invitation to replace fickle ways with firmer faith.
		But the fact that the young man appears again later, in the gospel, to explain the significance of the empty tomb (16:5) and the fact that the term sindon was also used to describe the burial cloth Jesus had left behind (15:46) suggests further significance.
