The Meaning of the Palm Sunday Icon
Palm Sunday celebrates the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem and is one of the Twelve Great Feasts. Observed on the Sunday before Pascha, it leads the faithful into Holy Week.
The Gospels describe Christ entering Jerusalem on a donkey and being welcomed with praise. His humble entry reveals a kingship unlike earthly power. He comes willingly toward His saving Passion, through which He will conquer death.
The Palm Sunday icon invites us to welcome Christ with faith and to follow Him beyond the moment of celebration. It joins the joy of His coming with the solemn remembrance of His Cross and Resurrection.

Caring for your icon
Keep your icon out of direct sunlight and away from damp walls and heat. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, and never use water or cleaning products on the gold leaf. If you keep a vigil lamp or candles nearby, leave space so soot does not settle on the icon.
Having your icon blessed
Many Orthodox Christians bring a new icon to their parish priest to be blessed before placing it in the home. Just bring it with you to church and ask Father after the service.
