Jesus’ friends put their cloaks and palm-tree leaves on the road and waved palm-tree leaves in the air.
The event is called the Triumphal Entry or Palm Sunday this happened on the day of 10th of Nisan.
Jesus was fulfilling what the Prophets of Israel said would happen when the Messiah came.
This was a joyful occasion and yet within the next ten days, Jesus was to die and then rise again.
Background Reading:
The Triumphal Entry – King Jesus Enters Jerusalem
12 The next day, the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!
How blessed is the one who comes
in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
14 Then Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written:
15 “Stop being afraid, people of Zion.
Look, your king is coming,
sitting upon a donkey’s colt!”
16 At first, his disciples didn’t understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people had done these things to him. 17 So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify to what they had seen. 18 The crowd was going out to meet Jesus because they had heard that he had performed this sign. 19 Then the Pharisees told one another, “You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!”
John 12:12-19
