Entry into Jerusalem

Palm Sunday
Troparion (Tone 4)
O Christ God, when we were buried with Thee in Baptism, we became deserving of thy Resurrection to immortal life. Wherefore, we praise thee, crying, Hosanna in the highest, blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord.

One week before the Passion, Christ rode triumphantly into Jerusalem. As a sign of honor, garments are spread on the ground for the Lord, seated on a donkey, to ride over, and palms are raised in praise. With His right hand He blesses with the priest's blessing symbolizing the Greek letters "IC XC" for the abbreviation of "Jesus Christ". The Apostles are behind Him and the fickle world is in front of Him. The city of Jerusalem is in the background.

This Icon is 18th Century Russian.
