We generally remember a place or event by its sights and sounds. Whether it be a special place for a vacation, a fond memory, or an event of significance, we will often remember or describe it based upon something seen or heard, and it is not unusual to have similar sights or sounds draw to mind this event or memory regardless of our distance from it in either time or space. Although a few thousand years separate us from the historical event of the Triumphal Entry of Jesus in Jerusalem, we nonetheless will catch the spirit of the event through its sights and sounds as recounted for us in the Gospels. As we observe Palm Sunday, we will look specifically at the event as recorded by Luke in chapter 19, verses 28-38, and learn of its significance through its “sights and sounds.”
