JESUS PUT TO DEATH WHEN DID IT ALL BEGIN? PALM SUNDAY

On Good Friday Jesus died on the cross in Calvary On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem because it was Passover time and also to fulfill
(also known as the skull.) the scriptures.

First Jesus was made to carry his own cross
through a large crowd then the soldiers picked
Simon from Cyrene to carry the cross for Jesus
because Jesus had fainted.
Jesus was also wearing thorns on his head and got
whipped by the soldiers.
Saint Veronica wiped Jesus’ face.
First Jesus told two Disciples to go get a donkey, “If anyone asks you what you are doing,
tell them the Lord needs it.”
After the two Disciples delivered the donkey to Jesus, he rode
into Jerusalem. People were waving palms and laying their
clothes on the path. They were chanting, “Hosanna, Hosanna
bless our king.” Hosanna means save us now.

Then Jesus got placed on the cross. He got nailed
on the cross with his palms and his feet.
Women cried out for Jesus. When he was up on
the cross the sky turned dark and stayed that way
till mid afternoon.
Then Jesus said “Don’t cry for me cry for your
children”.
Then Jesus died on the cross and the soldiers took him down from the cross and put him in
the tomb. (The soldiers gambled for Jesus clothes.)
by Estelle an Oliver
People who were following Jesus were scared because they
knew the Jewish high priests wanted to arrest Jesus. The
priests did not like Jesus because he was getting more
attention then them. They began a plot to kill him.
Palm Sunday is the sixth week, and the last Sunday, of Lent.
