Jesus' Triumphal Entry to Jerusalem is also a tribute to the 'Son of a David' on the eve of his Passion. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna!" which means "Give us a salvation", "Deliver us". They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, ?Hosanna!?, ?Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!?,?Blessed is the king of Israel!? (John 12,13) Soon, lots of them will be shouting "Crucify him!"
