Antiphona ad Primam
Dominica II Passionis seu in Palmis - Palm Sunday Prime
About This Prayer
This antiphon at Prime for Palm Sunday draws from Matthew 21:8-9: 'The Hebrew children took branches of olive trees and met the Lord, crying and saying: Hosanna in the highest.' The palm procession is recalled throughout the day's Office. Prime's morning prayer begins with the memory of Christ's royal entrance.
