Jesus arrives in Jerusalem on a donkey, marking the beginning of his journey to the cross. He is welcomed by a large crowd; but others are perplexed, asking ‘Who is this?’ The ‘Son of David’, and ‘the one who comes in the name of the Lord’ are the responses.

In Holy Week, we journey with Jesus from the celebrations of Palm Sunday to the pain of Good Friday. From shouts of ‘Hosanna!’ to cries of ‘Crucify’. These cries still resonate today. As we follow Jesus through this week, we will think of others who walk their own journeys of praise and pain.
