Palm Sunday is celebrated by Christians worldwide to mark Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem, where he was greeted by crowds waving palm branches. The day is observed with processions, reflective prayers and special church services, signaling the beginning of the sacred journey towards Good Friday and Easter. As a movable feast, Palm Sunday always falls on the Sunday before Easter.
