Palm Sunday marks the day Jesus made his grand entrance into Jerusalem, not on a majestic horse, but on a humble colt. The crowd waved palm branches and laid them on the road, giving him the royal treatment.

Whether you’re waving palm branches in church or just trying to keep your Sunday lighthearted, a few clever jokes can make the day feel even more joyful.
