Description acceptable. Peter I abolished a commemoration of this biblical event in which the Tsar would debase himself by walking before the patriarch to Saint Basil’s Cathedral. (-5[1])Luke prefaces this event with the flevit super illam passage, in which its central figure looks ahead and weeps for an entity that failed to recognize (15[1])“the time of its visitation.” When asked to stop his followers during this event, that man replies “if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!” Hymns celebrating (15[1])this event reprise (15[1])Psalm 118’s line (*) “Blessed is he who comes in the name (10[1])of the Lord!” During this event, a prophesied “meek” king was surrounded by (10[1])crowds that shouted (10[3])“hosanna!” (10[3])and (10[1])littered (10[1])the ground (10[1])with cloaks (10[2])and (10[1])branches. (10[2])For 10 points, (10[1])Palm Sunday celebrates what triumphal (10[1])event in which Jesus rode through a gate on a donkey? (10[1]-5[1])■END■ (10[1])
