Happy Palm Sunday: beautiful gifs and short videos

Tomorrow, April 13, will be an important holiday for all Orthodox Christians — Palm Sunday. In the church calendar, the Christian celebration has another name — the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. It is celebrated exactly one week before Easter, the main Christian holiday, which in 2025 falls on April 20. It is important for believers to attend church services on this day and consecrate willow branches, which will be carefully preserved until next Palm Sunday. They are usually used to decorate icons at home or to bring them to the graves of the deceased. According to popular beliefs, the consecrated willow will help and protect against diseases and misfortunes all year round. For such an important church holiday, Izvestia has prepared beautiful animated pictures and videos, as well as congratulations that can be sent to relatives and friends.

Bright Palm Sunday gifs for the Orthodox

Konstantin Balmont. Willow trees

Willow trees are covered
Heated by the wind,
Tenderly cherished
Morning light.

Easter branches,
Gently sad,
They look cheerful,
Whispering with bees.

The cemetery is peaceful
Smelling of flowers,
Clear singing
It pours in waves.

Light-sad
Easter songs,
Cherished by the heart,
They are fanned by the eternal.

"On this spring day, I want to congratulate you on the bright Palm Sunday holiday! May all sorrows and adversities go away, and happiness and joy will always be in the house. Good health to you and your loved ones!"

Marina Tsvetaeva. With a light - haired verbochka

With a light - haired verbochka —
The blonde-haired one herself —
I measure the Lord's miles
And manor houses.
Verbochka! Heavenly inhabitant!
— Together in the sky! "Wait a minute! —
So put it in the ground
With a verbochka on his chest.
