This week in RE the children watched a video telling them about Palm Sunday and how Jesus and his followers went to Jerusalem for the Passover Feast. Jesus told two of his followers to bring him a donkey and told them where to find it. He also said, “Tell the people of Jerusalem your King is coming, he is gentle and riding on a donkey.” The followers did as Jesus asked, they found and brought the animal to Jesus. They lay their cloaks on its back and Jesus sat on them and rode on the donkey. As Jesus rode the donkey towards Jerusalem, people cut branches from the palm trees and placed them and their cloaks on the ground in front of him. They shouted, “Hosanna! Hosanna! Blessed is the King of Israel!”
They discussed Why were the people excited? What did they do to show they were excited? Why did they describe Jesus as a king?
