It is a very ancient festival of Jerusalem origin and the pilgrim Egeria in the 4th century speaks of it in her diary.

Dionisio di Furnà's manual of Byzantine iconography dating back to 1700 encodes the scene with great elegance and spiritual depth.

The mountain that stands on the left of the icon is the Mount of Olives from where Jesus descends to enter Jerusalem. It culminates in a top with two points to signify that Christ has two natures, the divine and the human.

The donkey represents the material element of man, Christ rides it as the Spirit must ride matter.

The palm tree between the mountain and the city of Jerusalem is the image of Christ bridging the gap between the mountain of God (Divinity) and the city (humanity).

Christ is sitting unnaturally on the colt, he does not look at the city that welcomes him in triumph because he knows that in a few days he will deny him.

Palm Sunday is the feast of children who in the Icon do not ask “who is this” but their shouts ”Osana to the son of David“ arouse the indignation of the Pharisees and scribes.
