Palm Sunday is the holiest day of the Christian year
Palm Sunday is the most important day in the Christian calendar. It is also one of the most joyous days of the year. Palm Sunday celebrates the triumph of Jesus over death and the grave.
The Catholic Church believes that Jesus was tempted by the devil during his forty days and nights in the wilderness. The devil tried to get Jesus to sign a contract with him that would have allowed Satan to rule the world.
But Jesus refused, and instead won victory over death and the devil. On Palm Sunday, we celebrate this victory by worshiping Jesus Christ in procession. We carry palm branches as symbols of our faith and pray for strength against temptation.

The liturgy for Palm Sunday is the same as for Holy Saturday, with some additions specific to Palm Sunday.
