Christians celebrate Palm Sunday in Jerusalem (10 images)

Christians commemorated Jesus' arrival into Jerusalem during the annual Palm Sunday Procession on the Mt. of Olives overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem on April 9, 2017. Followers of Jesus carry palm fronds during the processional to represent the branches the crowd laid in front of Jesus as he rode into the city days before he was crucified.
