Palm Sunday

According to the Christian calendar, it was established to be named Sunday of the Saints (or Sunday of Lazarus or Sunday Vaioforos) the previous Sunday of the Resurrection.

Since Sunday of the Saints, the so -called Holy Week or Passion Week begins. On this day, the memory of Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem is celebrated, where, according to the writers of the Holy Gospels, the Jews welcomed him by holding Vaya or Vaya (branches) and spreading their clothes on the ground.

During the early centuries of Christianity, the feast of this memory was performed with the resurrection of Lazarus. Later the second was postponed a day before, the so -called Lazarus Saturday.

Today, this Sunday in both the eastern and western Church is regarded as the beginning of the Holy Passions. Despite its joyous character, initially the abolition of fish, oil and wine on this day were considered incompatible with the sacredness of the Great Week and the fasting, adapting it accordingly.

The above memory is highly honored with prominent hymnology and majestic function, at the end of which are distributed before the blessing of the rectum.
