On the first Palm Sunday Jesus made a triumphant entry into Jerusalem as had been foretold in the Old Testament. The people rushed to meet Him because of His miracles and fame. He entered riding a donkey, and the people spread palm branches before Him as a sign of welcome and honour.

Jesus came down from the mountain where he was fasting for 40 days. And people welcomed him by throwing palms under his donkey so his riding animal would not touch the ground. this was kind of the red carpet treatment. but he was riding a donkey which is more like a poor mans car nowadays. the juxtaposition is supposed to show you how the king of the universe was still a poor man by choice. And also that even-though he was worshipped now, he would be given up to humiliation, torture and death in less than a week. Christians now bring palms to church, or other flowers if they cannot find palms, to show they worship Jesus. The palms are then burned and used for ash Wednesday of the next year. Where Catholics wear ash on their foreheads to symbolize their sinfulness
