Entry of Christ in Jerusalem/Palm Sunday, Antique Orthodox Icon, end 19th century, 22 x 17 cm. The solemn entry into Jerusalem is the fulfillment of the prophecy speaking of Christ as of a coming King. "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion; proclaim it aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy King is coming to thee just, and a Saviour; he is meek and riding on an ass, and a young foal". Thus the solemn Entry into Jerusalem, which is at the same time the Journey of the Saviour towards voluntary passion and death, is an image of the installation of the King of Glory in His Kingdom. Jerusalem itself is the image of the blessed Kingdom of God, the heavenly Jerusalem. This is why it is represented on the Icon as so festive and attired. The authenticity of every icon is guaranteed.
