This icon is a reproduction of an original piece of artwork by "K.Mucha". It represents the biblical scene of Palm Sunday which commemorates an event reported by all four Canonical Gospels - the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his Passion. The palm branch was a symbol of triumph and of victory, in Jewish tradition, and is treated in other parts of the bible as such. Because of this, the scene of the crowd greeting Jesus by waving palms and carpeting his path with them has given the Christian festival its name. It also shows the freedom wanted by the Jews, and their desperation to have political freedom. Palm Sunday is a moveable feast which falls on the Sunday before Easter.
