- What does the phrase mean: “Hosanna in the highest, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” (slide 11)

“Long live he who comes in the name of the Lord, sent from God!”

Conversation based on text:

– Why do you think the Savior asked the disciples to find for him a donkey and not a horse?(In the country of Palestine, where the Savior lived, there were few horses, and they were mainly used for war. Donkeys were used for household chores and travel. Mounting a horse was then a sign of war. In peacetime, even kings rode donkeys. Therefore, the Entry of the Lord to Jerusalem was a symbol of peace: The King of Peace rode into the capital on a donkey - a symbol of peace.)

What made Jesus Christ famous?(Jesus healed the sick, fed the hungry, raised His friend Lazarus from the dead, and performed many miracles.)

Why did people rejoice at meeting Jesus Christ?(The fame of Jesus Christ gradually spread throughout Palestine. People wanted to see a man who surprised everyone with his miraculous actions, healing people, wisdom and prophecy.)

Entering the temple, Christ again, as in the first year of His teaching, drove out all those who were selling and buying, saying to them: “it is written: “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations,” but you have made it a den of thieves.”
The blind and lame surrounded Him in the temple, and He healed them all. The people, seeing the miracles of Jesus Christ, began to glorify Him even more. Even the small children who were in the temple exclaimed: “Hosanna to the Son of David !»

How did people greet him?(they spread their clothes and palm branches in front of him, greeting Him with the words: “Salvation! Glory to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

- In the old days, kings were greeted with green branches when they returned in triumph after defeating their enemies. And we, holding in our hands the first branches that bloom in spring, glorify the Savior as the Conqueror of death; because He raised the dead and on this very day entered Jerusalem in order to die for our sins and rise again and thereby save us from eternal death and eternal torment. The branch then serves for us as a sign of Christ’s victory over death and should remind us of the future resurrection of all of us from the dead.
- Why is this holiday also called Palm Sunday? (In Jerusalem

They greeted the Savior as a King with green branches of date palms. Here in Russia, palm trees do not grow, and the leaves on other trees usually do not have time to bloom in time for the Feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. Therefore, palm branches replaced willow branches, which, not afraid of the last spring frosts, release fluffy catkins early.)

What is the official name of this holiday?(This holiday is officially called the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem.)

When is this holiday celebrated?(It is celebrated on the Sunday that precedes Easter. The week after Palm Sunday until Easter is called Passion.)

3). Working with the icon of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. (slide 12)

Why do we classify this event as a holiday? Has the Lord never been to this city before? - Was. He visited Jerusalem more than once on great holidays. So what is special about this visit? Why is it so significant for Christians? We will try to find answers to these questions by looking at the holiday icon.

– Let's look at the icon of the holiday and find on it the Savior riding on a donkey, the disciples of Christ, the gates of the city of Jerusalem, people meeting the Lord.

– Looking at the icon, tell us how people meet Christ?

Look how many people are depicted on it, but the eye is immediately drawn to the figure of Christ. We see Him accompanied by His disciples. The Lord, sitting on a young donkey, enters Jerusalem. Here in the background on the right you can see the houses and towers of this great city. A great multitude of people came out of the city walls to meet Christ. These people are very happy to see Him. They convey the news to each other that the Lord recently performed an incredible miracle: he raised Lazarus from the dead, who had been buried for four days now. People greet the Lord with palm branches and joyful shouts: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” As a sign of special respect for Christ, they cover His path with branches, as well as with their clothes. Look, guys, Christ’s gaze is turned to the Apostles. The omniscient Lord, of course, knows that very soon all this fun will come to an end. Within a few days, the guards would seize Him on the orders of the high priests and condemn Him to death; they would beat Him and kill Him. And only then, having endured the torment of the Cross, on the third day after His death, the Lord will rise again.

Yes, the Savior knows all this. And approaching His suffering on the Cross, Christ thinks not about Himself, but about His disciples. That they would have the courage to see Him undergoing a painful and shameful execution - and not lose their faith in Him.

And here's another one important detail– gesture right hand Christ. Look: the Lord Himself is addressed to the disciples, and with his hand he points to Jerusalem, to which they are approaching. The Lord wants once again, before entering the city, to indicate to the disciples the purpose for which He this time enters the capital of the Kingdom of Judah: to voluntarily, by His will, accept death on the Cross. The image of the Cross is already present on this icon. Look, guys, there is a tree in the center of the icon. This tree is an image of the Tree of the Cross, which is already being prepared for the Savior. So, the Lord is coming to free suffering, to the Cross. Having died as a Man, He will rise again as God. Death will not be able to keep Him in its chains, and these chains will be torn and destroyed. (slide 15) This is the meaning of this holy holiday - the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem.

Palm Sunday was a quiet holiday, without festivities, because... was advancing Holy Week.

Palm Sunday is associated with willow for a reason. The willow is a symbol of health, strength, rebirth and beauty. The willow disinfects the walls of our house, its bark absorbs our pain and bad breath.

Many poets dedicated their works to the willow.

Signs and folk beliefs:

Since ancient times, there has been a belief that whoever touches it when it opens its buds will not get sick all year.

Therefore, on Palm Sunday, willow buds were fed to livestock so that they would not get sick, and small children were playfully lashed with willow branches and said: “As the willow grows, so do you grow,” and whoever is sick - “Whip the willow, beat them to tears, beat them so that were healthy." Let me give you guys health, strength and beauty with these branches.

5). Do you know...?

If the sun is shining on this day, then the weather will be warm and the harvest of cereals and fruits will be rich.

The wind that blows on Palm Sunday will prevail throughout the summer.

If on this day they touched a person with a willow branch, then they endowed him with health and beauty.

A willow thrown against the wind drives away a storm. A willow thrown into a fire pacifies the fire. Willow branches thrown into the yard pacify the hail. When there is hail, you need to place a bunch of consecrated willow on the windowsill.

If you have a headache, then place a mashed willow twig under the bandage on your head. The pain will pass.

Dried willow bark will become a healing medicine for future use.

Willow branches are stored in the house until next year.

6). Virtual bouquet:

But the main offering to God on this day (as, indeed, always) is our prayer, good deeds and pure hearts.

What can you wish for me, each other, people on the eve of the Great Holiday?

Health, good luck, success, peace, Love, mercy, kindness, honesty, Joy.

IV. Summarizing:

What goal did we set at the beginning of the lesson?

Have we achieved it?

What kind of holiday is Palm Sunday?

What do you remember? What touched you most?

With the arrival of spring all God's peace, all nature awakens from sleep. The sun melted the white clothes of winter, and the streams began to gurgle. Pale meadows and fields are covered with fresh grass, and soon, wherever you look, you will see the first fragrant flowers. The birch groves will turn green, and behind them the dense forests will dress in their wonderful spring attire. And in the forest, a choir of birds that have returned to their native lands sings their sonorous songs in the spring and praises God the Creator.

I want to end our lesson with these words:

I’ll put a willow branch in a vase,

I will light a candle at the icon.

I will glorify Palm Sunday

And I’ll quietly whisper a prayer.

It is impossible to learn to believe.

Believing constantly is hard work.

I pray for those who are in difficult life

They believe sincerely and live by faith.

Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem.

A few days before Easter, Jesus Christ walked with his disciples to Jerusalem. They stopped not far from the city. Jesus sent twoapostles to the nearest village and ordered to find a young donkey there, untie it and bring it to Him.

They did just that. Jesus sat on a young donkey and rode into Jerusalem on it. Many people gathered at the gates of the city. Everyone has heard that Jesus healed the sick, fed the hungry, raised His friend Lazarus from the dead, walked on water, and performed many miracles.

The whole city rejoiced at meeting Jesus Christ. People greeted Him, waved green tree branches, threw them on the road, paving the way for the Lord.

In memory of that day, Christians in southern countries come to church with palm branches. And we are with willow branches. That is why this holiday is also called Palm Sunday.

We glorify this event introparion holiday like this:

Hosanna in the highest, blessed Coming in the name of the Lord.

Happy Palm Sunday!

May you live without troubles!

Palm Sunday is celebrated by the people.

This means there will be a summer of grain this year.

On this day, as usual, Christ is honored.

Gracious thoughts and a pure soul...

Congratulations everywhere: happiness, for long years!

Happy Palm Sunday!

May you live without troubles!

Palm Sunday. In fact, it should not be called Palm, but Palm. Why? To understand this, we must remember the events that took place almost two thousand years ago in the capital of Judea - Jerusalem.
Correctly, this Great Twelfth Feast is called the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. It is solemnly celebrated by the Church with memories of the royal glorification of Jesus Christ before His death on the cross.
Description of this event, one of the important events of recent earthly days Jesus Christ is in all four Gospels. What they say differs somewhat from each other, but the essence is the same.
The Jewish Passover holiday was approaching. There was real pandemonium in the capital - people from all over Palestine came to Jerusalem. People rejoiced and shouted, looking at the Mount of Olives - the highest of those that surrounded the city.
It was as if they were waiting for something. What? What were you happy about? The people were waiting for Christ to enter the city!
The Savior had been to Jerusalem before, but He had never been greeted with such jubilation. Why? You, of course, remember what miracle Christ performed the day before in the village of Bethany?
He raised Lazarus, who had already been in the grave for four days! The news of this miracle spread quickly, and then the people learned that the Great Wonderworker was going to Jerusalem. And the people came out to greet Him!
On the morning of this day, Jesus asked his disciples to bring him a colt.
And then He appeared. Descending from the Mount of Olives, royally sitting on a young donkey, the Savior rode into the majestic Jewish capital.
- Why do you think the Savior asked the disciples to ride on a donkey’s colt, and not on a horse?
In the country of Palestine, where the Savior lived, there were few horses, and they were used mainly for war. Mounting a horse was then a sign of war. And the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem was a symbol of peace: the King of Peace rode into the capital on a donkey - a symbol of peace.
The people were waiting for Jesus, people came out to meet Him, laying palm branches and their clothes on the way. They joyfully shouted: “Hosanna! Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest! (“Hosanna” means “Save us”)
The greeting of the people meant: “Long live he who comes in the name of the Lord, sent from God!” The reason for such joy of the people at the meeting of Christ was the miracles He performed: healing the sick, raising the dead.
Meeting the Savior, the people rejoiced and did not know about the sorrowful events that were about to occur.
And Christ, looking at Jerusalem, at this crowd of people, began to cry. “Jerusalem, Jerusalem!” He said. “If only on this day you understood what serves your salvation! But you don’t see it now. The day will come when your enemies will surround you, besiege you, destroy you and leave no stone unturned for that.” that you did not understand the time when the Lord visited you..."
Why did He say this in the midst of such celebration? Yes, because all this rejoicing of the people was built on misunderstanding. People hoped that Christ would enter Jerusalem and take earthly power into His hands. They were waiting for a great and powerful king who would free the people of Israel from Roman rule!
They glorified Him as a victorious king, and no one understood that it was the King of all Kings, the Conqueror of death, that the Lord Himself was entering Jerusalem to offer Himself as a sacrifice for human sins, to fulfill prophecies and transform this world.
Only Jesus, the Son of God, had the future open to him, only HE knew what would happen to him: HE entered into voluntary humiliation and suffering.
HE knew that a painful death awaited Him very soon, He knew that He would be betrayed and crucified on the cross.
He knew that tomorrow the week of His suffering would begin. That this same crowd, instead of “Glory to the Son of David!” will shout: “Take Him, crucify Him!”
Clothes and palm trees
The road is decorated.
What jubilation!
What grace!
Solemnly, with glory
People meet God
So that later His...
Crucifixion!
And now, like two thousand years ago, the Lord comes to all of us, no matter who we are and no matter where we are. We must try not to be as fickle and fickle as the Jerusalem crowd.
Another famous biblical story is associated with this holiday - the expulsion of merchants from the temple. At the Passover holiday in Jerusalem, Jews were obliged to “slaughter the Passover lambs and make sacrifices to God, and therefore they drove sacrificial livestock into the temple and set up shops to sell everything necessary for the sacrifices.
After his entry into Jerusalem, Jesus went straight to the temple, saw the merchants and drove them out: “And Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all those selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
He said to them: It is written, “My house will be called a house of prayer; and you made it a den of robbers.” (Matthew 21:12-13).
- Why is our holiday of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem also called Palm Sunday?
Palm trees do not grow in Russia, so we cannot bring palm branches to Church on this day. In Rus', date palm branches were replaced by willow branches.
But why exactly did the willow become in our country a symbol of the feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem?
In Russia, the week before Easter is usually still cold. The trees are just getting ready to wake up from sleep; the green leaves are still very far away. And only the willow released white-gray fluffy living balls from its buds on its branches.
We take fresh branches to Church, where they are blessed by the priest, then we take them home and store them all year, until the next Palm Sunday.
They remind us of the future resurrection. Only a week will pass, and next Sunday we will celebrate the Feast of Feasts - Holy Pascha! This gives special solemnity to the event that we remember.
When you stand with willow branches in the Church, think about Christ, about what he had to endure for our sake. Imagine that you meet Him and rejoice in Him.
The Lord enters Jerusalem to die and rise again and raise us all to eternal life. Therefore we sing: “Glory in the highest, blessed is he who walks in the name of the Lord!” Happy holiday, dear guys!
Troparion: Assuring the general resurrection before Your passion, You raised Lazarus from the dead, O Christ our God. In the same way, we, like children, bearing signs of victory, cry out to you, the conqueror of death: Hosanna in the highest, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Passers-by cross themselves

There is always a place for a holiday in our lives, and not necessarily a calendar one. The holiday should be in our souls and hearts.
The holiday Palm Sunday or Palm Sunday has a full name and sounds like this: “The Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem.” The history of Palm Sunday began when Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem. He rode in on a donkey, which became a symbol of humility. Then the people recognized him as the Messiah, laid their clothes under his donkey’s feet and threw palm branches. His entry into Jerusalem became a prototype of the entrance to Paradise.
It's almost spring and the air is fresh -
Birds talk about this.
For our new hopes!
Where did this day come to us from?

I will stroke the willow with my hand,
And I’ll take her with me to the temple.
The Messiah came to Jerusalem
We will pray for him with you.
How light and pure my soul is,
...warm and very good!
Since God is very close today,
It means he has already arrived at the temple...

Out of sight all evil spirits
They'll fly away from here,
Let them die of hunger
Greed, stupidity, anger and malice!

The dolls have already disintegrated,
Their butterflies burned through.
Fluffy dolls
They blossomed on the willows.
Before Palm Sunday,
All those who are young,
With grins and singing,
Sprayed with water.
They were doused with water:
Let your breasts be fresh.
And they hit them with a willow:
Be gentle like a willow.
They stuck a small willow
Behind the image, in the corners,
So that by mortal scarlet force
There were no fires in the houses.
Shine on us, this joy,
Flowers, earth, water.
Let the spring willow blossom for us,
Always bloom with spring!
All children are given willow branches and congratulated on the holiday.

A week before his resurrection, Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem. Residents of the city greeted him as son of god, since the day before he miraculously healed his dead friend Lazarus. An important point is that Christ rode into the city on a donkey. This is very symbolic, because previously only winners and rulers entered the city on animals, and joyful people greeted them with palm branches and shouts of welcome. But the Son of God was not a winner or an earthly king; he rode into the city on a donkey, declaring that he was the King of Heaven.

Signs Rain on Palm Sunday foretells good harvest. This is one of the most proven signs of our ancestors. Dry weather on this holiday promises, on the contrary, a poor harvest. Cloudy weather without rain means that your preparations will be good, but not as good as you would like. It was also believed that the willow could protect the house from natural elements. A house in which there is a consecrated willow branch will not be struck by lightning. If during a fire you throw a willow into the fire, it will go out faster and the flame will not spread to another building. And twigs thrown into the water during ice drift will help avoid large floods. If there were unused branches left in the house by the next holiday, then under no circumstances should they be thrown away. They must be burned and thrown into a stream or river, and the water should not be stagnant.
