Jesus entered Jerusalem on a colt to the crowd's hosannas — Palm Sunday of the passion week. All four gospels carry it; the church has kept the feast since its earliest calendars.
The triumphal entry into Jerusalem is a narrative in the four canonical Gospels describing the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem a few days before his crucifixion. This event is celebrated each year by Christians on Palm Sunday.
