HistoricSignificanceof "Palm"Sunday.

Thenameof"Palm"Sunday,--as theSundaybeforetheFeastofthe ResurrectioniscalledintheCatholic Churchisofveryancientbutnow almostuniversalapplication. We findexplicitreferencetoitinCyril'slifeofEuthymiuswhodiedin 472,andthefamousMeratifindsit inanancientRomanCalendardating fromthefourthcentury.Itgotthe nameof"Palm"Sundayfromthe customtheearlyCatholicshad-of carryingPalmbranchesintheir handsonthatdayinsolemnprocession; butaspalmswererarely foundoutsidetheEasterncountries, itwasalsoknownasBranchSunday,OliveSunday,WillowSunday, orSundayoftheWillowboughs, YewSunday,FlowerDay,orBlossomSunday,PalmEaster,orFlowerEaster(PavesFleuties)fromthe factthatinsteadofPalms,yew,box, willow,orolivebrancheswerecarried,whenpalmscouldnotbefounds Earlyhistorinsattachedaspecial significancetotheprocessionduring whichthepeoplecarriedpalms.For instance,inthereignofthesensual 14enryVIII.ofEnLand,RoeerEdgeworth,CationofSaListurysaidin oneofhissermonsthat''thedevout ceremoniesofPalmSundayInprocessions,andonGoodFridayinthe ExpositionoftheCrossandthe BlessedSacramentinreposition,are sonecessarytosuccourthecapabilitiesofman'sremembrance,thatif theywerenotusedonceeveryyear, itistobefearedthatChrist'spassionwouldsoonbeforgotten."The significance,therefore,ofthepalms, andofthesolemnprocessionWhich obtainsatleastinCatholic Churchesthroughouttheworld,isto, vividlyrecalltheactualtriumphant entryofOurDivineLordintoJerusalemontheSundayprecedingthe Friday,onwhichHewascrucified. Onthatoccasionthepeoplewent outtomeetHimandtogiveHim atrulydemonstrativeandevenvociferouswelcomeintotheHolyCite. Theytoredownbranchesoffthe palmtrees,andafterthemannerof atriumph,wavedthemandshouted theirHosannasinhonourofthe SonofDavid,whohadcomeinthe nameoftheLord.

Readersofancienthistoryare thoroughlycoenisentofthefactthat theoldpaeancustomofhearing branchesofpalmandothertreesin precessionswassymbolicofioyand triumph.However,veryfewwriters ofnoteattributetheCatholiccustomtopaganoriginittookits origin,mostprobablyfromthewell knowncustomoftheJewsatthe FeastofTabernacles.Duringthis Feast,according'totheMosaicLaw, theJews,perambulatedeveryden aroundtheSacrificialAltar.waving branchesofPalmhoundatthelower extremitieswithsprigsofwillow, myrtle,maple,oliveorcitron.The PriestschantedtheGreat thspsalmscommencingwith "PraisetheLord,yechildren PraiseyethenameoftheLord," andcontinuingtotheendofPsalm onehundredandseveeteen.whilethe neonlerespondedatcertainprescribedintervalssineineHogannaor Alleluia.Ontheseventhdayofthe Feasttheywentseventimesaround theAltar-thePsalmsandHosan"as

TheexacttimewhenthisFeast begantoberecognisedintheLiturgyoftheCatholicChurchisnot easilydetermined.Itwouldseem certainthattowardstheendofthe fourthcentury,theobservanceof "PalmSunday"hadobtained throughouttheEast,inChurchesand Monasteries.St.CyrilofJerusalem givesforcibletestimonyofthisin hisdiscourses. Eucheriaapious Pilgrimwholivedabout380A.D., describedwhatshewitnessedon thisdayinJerusalem. Inpart, shesaidthatamultitudeofthe faithfulwenttotheMountofOlives wheretheygatheredroundtheBishopandsangthefestalpsalms.
