Jesus and his disciples arrived at the Mount of Olives just outside Jerusalem.  He sent two of the disciples to the next village to collect a donkey and her foal.  “If anyone stops you, tell them they are for me.” he said.  They brought the animals to Jesus and put cloaks on their backs so that Jesus could ride on them.  When the people heard that Jesus was coming they laid their cloaks on the road before him, and pulled branches off the palm trees to wave in the air. The crowds grew more and more excited and shouted at the top of their voices, “Hosanna, Hosanna! Blessed is the one sent by the Lord.” Excitement filled the whole city and some people asked, “Who is this man?”  The people answered them, “It is Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”
