Palm Sunday Road on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem is a historic pathway that holds profound religious and cultural significance. It is traditionally believed to be the route taken by Jesus during his triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, a week before his crucifixion. The name "Palm Sunday" itself refers to the biblical accounts of people laying palm branches on the path as Jesus rode into the city on a donkey.
The road winds down the slopes of the Mount of Olives, providing stunning panoramic views of Jerusalem, including the Old City and the Temple Mount. As pilgrims and visitors walk along this path, they follow in the footsteps of ancient traditions and relive a momentous event in Christian history.
Alongside Palm Sunday Road, you'll find the Mount of Olives Jewish Cemetery, one of the oldest and most significant Jewish cemeteries in the world. It contains tens of thousands of graves, including those of prominent Jewish figures throughout history.
