Palm Sunday is a moveable feast in the church calendar observed by Catholic, Orthodox, and some Protestant Christians. It is the Sunday before Easter. 1, record 3, English, - Palm%20Sunday
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
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 and heretofore been affixed to the previous Sunday, or the fifth within Lent. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Palm Sunday is often called the "Entry into Jerusalem," and is the beginning of Holy Week. 1, record 3, English, - Palm%20Sunday

Le dimanche des Rameaux rappelle l'entrée royale de Jésus-Christ à Jérusalem. C'est une fête mobile puisqu'elle introduit la semaine sainte. Dès le IXe siècle, l'Église accomplit dans son rituel du jour la bénédiction des rameaux et la procession des fidèles. Les rameaux verdoyants, signes de la vitalité, sont déposés sur les tombes et dans les maisons. 1, record 3, French, - dimanche%20des%20Rameaux
