Luke prefaces this event with the flevit super (15[1])illam passage, in which its central figure looks ahead and weeps for an entity that failed to recognize “the time of its visitation.” (-5[1])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 (15[1])(*) “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (10[1])During this event, a prophesied “meek” king was surrounded by crowds (-5[1])that shouted “hosanna!” (10[1]-5[1])and littered the ground (10[1])with cloaks and branches. (10[2])For 10 points, Palm Sunday celebrates what (10[1])triumphal event in which Jesus rode through a gate on a donkey? ■END■ (10[4]0[2])
