- Palm branches symbolized Jewish identity and hope for a conquering king.
- Jesus chose a humble donkey to signify his peaceful and approachable nature.
- The crowd's cry of 'Hosanna' reflected their desire for political salvation, not spiritual.

He came down from a throne to be born in a stinky, smelly manger, and then entered Jerusalem on the smallest, stinkiest little animal.
