What is domingo de ramos?

Domingo de Ramos, or Palm Sunday, is a Christian religious holiday that falls on the Sunday before Easter. It commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem before his crucifixion and resurrection. It is called Palm Sunday because according to the Gospels, people waved palm branches to welcome Jesus as he rode into the city on a donkey.

In many Christian traditions, Palm Sunday is celebrated with a special church service where palms are blessed and distributed to the congregation. The palm branches are often folded into crosses or other shapes as a symbol of faith and victory.

Many churches also hold processions with palm branches and sing hymns to mark the occasion. In some cultures, people also create elaborate palm fronds or woven palm decorations to display in their homes or churches.

Overall, Domingo de Ramos is an important day in the Christian liturgical calendar as it marks the beginning of Holy Week, the most solemn and significant period in the Christian calendar leading up to Easter Sunday.
