Palm Sunday 2019 History, Bible References, Wishes, Messages: Christian churches all around the world celebrate the rebirth of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday. A lot of questions arise about the palm being crafted as a cross and waved around the cross. Palm Sunday is a moveable feast of Christians that is celebrated on Sunday that falls before the Easter. This day is celebrated to remember the day when Jesus victoriously entered in Jerusalem. On that day when he entered the city, the crowed waved palms for him.
