Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem

Just a few days before He was crucified, Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem as the people waved palm branches and shouted "Hosanna! He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One--the King of Israel!" (John 12:13) We remember and celebrate this event on Palm Sunday. His triumphal entry into Jerusalem declared that Jesus is the King of kings. This joyful welcome is the focus of the Bible activities for kids listed below.
