Icon of the Entry into Jerusalem
Today, the Eastern Orthodox
Church celebrates Palm Sunday commemorating the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ
into Jerusalem. This scene is depicted in all four Gospels and is of great
importance to all Christian believers. There are several variations of Palm Sunday icons, but all of them show Christ sitting upon a donkey or colt and
heading toward Jerusalem. The Twelve Apostles are following the Messiah, and the
Hebrews are waiting for Him at Jerusalem’s gates.
