Holy Week begins with Palm/Passion Sunday. This day is filled with jarring contradictions. We gather outside with palm branches waving, but by the end of the service we find ourselves at the cross with Jesus. We begin with joyful shouts of “Hosanna,” but in the end we find our own voices joining the shouts of “Crucify Him!” Yet, in this service, God’s triumphant love is still palpable in all these jarring contradictions.
