Palm Sunday

In 2019, Orthodox Christians celebrate Palm Sunday (Tsvetnitsa/Flowers Day) on April 21 and the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church – on April 14. It falls on the Sunday before Easter and is one of the best spring feasts.
It is dedicated to Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem where he was greeted with olive and laurel twigs. Thus, everyone brings to church laurel twigs and flowers on this day. People named after flowers celebrate their name day on this date.
