The Entry of Christ into JerusalemCOPYRIGHTED ART. Do not copy or deep-link to without prior permission from "Come and See" Icons, Books & Art.

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. With His right hand He blesses with the priest's blessing symbolizing the Greek letters "IC XC" for the abbreviation of "Jesus Christ". The city of Jerusalem is in the background. His Apostles are behind Him, led by Peter. The citizens of Jerusalem are in front of Him. Is that Zacchaeus up in the tree?

This Icon is by the hand of Constantine Youssis. It is from St. Michael's Antiochian Orthodox Church, Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
