Palm Sunday, the kickoff to Holy Week, draws large crowds, perhaps surprisingly, for the tangible palm branches they receive. Observing Holy Week in Milan's Ambrosian Rite revealed its unique liturgical traditions, particularly in its chronological approach to Gospel readings. The Roman Rite, in contrast, features two Gospel readings on Palm Sunday, including the Passion narrative, to emphasize the link between Christ's triumph and suffering. These different approaches highlight the rich diversity within Christian liturgical practices.
