Palm Sunday is a holiday celebrated by Christians, which takes place on the Sunday before Easter. Palm Sunday marks the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, when a crowd of people laid palm branches and their cloaks on the ground in front of him as a sign of respect and honour.
Did you know there are certain foods that are traditionally eaten on Palm Sunday?
Bakaliaros or fried salt cod, is a traditional meal served amongst Greek Orthodox Christians.
In Northern England and Scotland, many parishioners enjoy a hearty bowl of split pea soup on this sacred day, and figs have become the number one fruit linked to Palm Sunday and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways such as whole, turned into pudding, or baked into cookies.
