The triumphal entry refers to Jesus arriving in Jerusalem on what we know as Palm Sunday, the Sunday before the crucifixion (John 12: 1, 12). The story of the triumphal entry is one of the few events in the life of Jesus that appears in the stories of the four gospels (Matthew 21: 1-17, Mark 11: 1-11, Luke 19: 29-40, John 12 : 12-19). Putting together the four stories, it is evident that the triumphal entry was an important event, not only for the people in Jesus' time, but for Christians throughout history. We celebrate Palm Sunday to remember that momentous occasion.
