"Palm Sunday" Explained by the Crunchy Christian Mar 24, 2024

Why do Christians do what Christians do? Ashleigh Hensch dives in weekly to help clear the fog of confusion with easy to understand Church history and tradition.Show more

🌿 Blessed Holy Week, everyone! 🌿 what is Holy Week? When does it start? How do we participate in Christian worship during Holy Week? The short answer is: go to church 🤪, but I go into some more detail for those not familiar with liturgical worship/practices. This will be a series of videos, and we start with the start of Holy Week: Palm Sunday.

Yes, yes. Ashleigh cannot stop trying to make "Penitial Season" the noun into an adjective "penitentiary". Seems to be a glitch in her system, please forgive it 🙏.

The word "synoptic" means (1) affording a general view of a whole, (2) manifesting or characterized by comprehensiveness or breadth of view, (3) presenting or taking the same or common view specifically, often capitalized : of or relating to the first three Gospels of the New Testament. (Merriam-Webster). Matthew, Mark, and Luke are the synoptic Gospels because they generally agree, and are told in a similar way, of the account of Jesus. John's account is told in a different style, and so the accounts don't always line up nicely to his.

I'll try and get this edited and re-uploaded as quickly as possible, but didn't want to miss Palm Sunday! Please ignore the screaming toddler... he's fine, just resisting bedtime 😅
