In the Christian calendar, today is Palm Sunday. It's remembering what's referred to as Jesus's triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Apparently, at the time, the Jews were looking for a military strong man to rise up and push the Romans out. They were expecting a big man on a horse. By contrast, Jesus borrowed a donkey, a poor man's creature, symbolising suffering, service, humility and not a military animal.
Kind of contrasts with a recent entry by ISRAEL into Gaza.
In a way, Jesus entry was one of many symbolic events calling us to a way of life and focused millions over two thousand years.
