As we read in the Gospels, Jesus went to Jerusalem to join with throngs of other Jews to celebrate the
Passover feast as had been prescribed in the Old Testament books of Exodus and Deuteronomy.
According to the Gospel of St. John, Jesus and many of his followers journeyed the less than two miles
from Bethany on that Sunday, arriving outside Jerusalem. As was the custom, pilgrims that had
already arrived in the city went out to greet newly arriving groups; some had never seen Jesus
but had heard about the miracles attributed to Him and were caught up in the excitement.
