NARRATION:

As Jesus approached Jerusalem, He saw the great city and began to weep. This
ancient city had known many tears in her long, troubled history. Her stone
pathways were consecrated with the blood of martyrs, and her walls echoed the
cries of a million prayers for deliverance. Now, as the Promised One drew near,
the towering gates of the city flew open to receive her King. Crowds began to
gather chanting, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord."

Running ahead, the people laid their coats upon the road as a carpet of praise to
the Deliverer. They took palm branches and waved them in adoration of their
conquering King. This was the day they had long-awaited, and their celebration
could be heard in the temple. "Hosanna," they cried, "Hosanna to the Son of
David!"
