The icon of Palm Sunday depicts Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem. Jews are seen coming out to meet Him with palms and branches. Jesus sits upon a colt and speaks with His Apostles, who are following after Him. In the background, there is a child sitting in tree, from which he is cutting off the branches with an axe, throwing them onto the road as Christ moves forward. The crowd lays their cloaks on the ground before Him. Palm Sunday is celebrated at the beginning of Holy Week on the Sunday before Holy Pascha.
