Jesus reached Jerusalem from the Mount of

Olives. This is where the procession starts,

and it follows the “Churches Path” toward

the Old City of Jerusalem.

It is interesting to note that the

“Hosanna” call, made during the

chanting, is similar to the Hebrew

word “Hosha’ na”, which is a call for

God’s salvation.

This call is made during the Jewish

festival of Sukkot, while waving palm

fronds .

The crowd who greeted Jesus in

Jerusalem was Jewish, and called

Hosha’ na” out to him, asking for“

salvation from a Messiah.

The original sound of the call was

kept by the translators of the New

Testament, and so it is used to this

day.
