“ Easter 2026 and Palm Sunday “
Easter or Resurrection Sunday is a Christian Festival and holiday
commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. "True"
Some dye eggs a different color decorated in baskets, which is a
Spring Celebration all over the world, and hopefully get to church !
My experiences in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, the Garden, Tomb, Sea of
Galilee (singing "Captain" in a boat), the Dead Sea, Masada, and all the
places Jesus walked and preached, then, laid to rest, are absolutely
the most precious, incredibly carved, memories, in my personal memory
bank, forever.
Palm Sunday
Let’s elaborate on the very, beautiful, Palm Tree: The Palm is one of the
earliest cultivated trees, a symbol of both beauty and prosperity, used in
the decoration of temples, in construction of booths for a festival, and
most importantly, the crowds used palms to welcome Jesus to Jerusalem
where he was eventually arrested and crucified. Jericho was known as
the city of Palms. Palms are also characteristic, in the desert,
of oases and watered places.
My personal favorite is Deborah (a Judge) who rendered her decisions
under a palm tree named after her. What an interesting court-room, don’t
you think? Deborah was also a warrior, going to war with generals and their
armies, a nurse to important dignitaries, and a Praiser. When she returned
from battle with Barak and his army, she insisted they praise God for the
victory and gave God all the praise and glory !
The fruit of the date palm tree is still highly valued in that part of the world
by desert travelers since it may be consumed fresh or else dried or made
into cakes for a portable, easily, stored food, now in medical research
for life-saving future use.
I want to leave you with this scripture and invite you to ask Jesus into your
heart ! : Ephesians 1: 18,19&20 NKJ
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened , that you may know
the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in
His holy people (us), and His incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised
Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the Heavenly Realms."
He is risen, Jesus my Lord!..
