It is on this day that people laid palms to cover Jesus’s path as he arrived in Jerusalem, just days before he was crucified. Since the palms have been blessed, instead of throwing them away after the celebration, they are saved to create ashes for Ash Wednesday. Lent is celebrated until Easter Sunday.
