FIND HEALING THROUGH CHRIST ​AND COMMUNITY

Easter is a sacred time—a celebration of life, love, and the extraordinary power of hope. As Christians around the world gather to remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we’re reminded that no matter how heavy the burden or how long the night, morning always comes. There is resurrection after ruin, peace after pain, and joy after sorrow.
Interestingly, in many languages, the word for Easter reflects its deep biblical roots. The English word Easter may stand apart, but in Latin-based languages like Spanish (Pascua), Italian (Pasqua), and French (Pâques), the word is derived from the Hebrew Pesach, or Passover. This connection is profound, as Jesus’ death and resurrection occurred during the Passover festival—linking the story of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt with our ultimate deliverance through Christ.

Each spring, Christians around the world enter into a sacred time known as Holy Week, beginning with the joyful celebration of Palm Sunday. While deeply spiritual, this season is also historically rooted—anchored in real events that unfolded in 1st-century Judea. In this post, we’ll explore the meaning of Palm Sunday, the timeline of Holy Week, and the historical evidence that supports the life of Jesus Christ.

🌿 What Is Palm Sunday?Palm Sunday marks the moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey, while crowds waved palm branches and shouted “Hosanna!” (Matthew 21:1–11). Far from a random act, this was a public, prophetic fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9, signaling Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah.
“See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey.” — Zechariah 9:9
The crowds’ reaction wasn’t just celebration—it was political and spiritual, an acknowledgment that something extraordinary was happening.
