Oops of the Day  

Palm branches were always waved to celebrate Passover, so that’s what people waved when Jesus entered Jerusalem as their king.

Matthew 21:7-10  –  Leviticus 23:39-43

Fact of the Day

No! Palm branches were part of the Feast of Booths which was an extension of the Day of Atonement – the Day of SALVATION.  Passover was in the 1st month (spring), Feast of Booths in the 7th month (autumn). So the people declared him their SAVIOR symbolically with the palm branches and would have no matter what part of the year it was.
