Palm Sunday,...

As he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples.
30
He said, "Go into the village opposite you, and as you enter it you will find a colt tethered on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
31
And if anyone should ask you, 'Why are you untying it?' you will answer, 'The Master has need of it.'"
32
So those who had been sent went off and found everything just as he had told them.
33
And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying this colt?"
34
They answered, "The Master has need of it."
35
So they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks over the colt, and helped Jesus to mount.
36
As he rode along, the people were spreading their cloaks on the road;
37
and now as he was approaching the slope of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of his disciples began to praise God aloud with joy for all the mighty deeds they had seen.
38
They proclaimed: "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest."
39
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40
He said in reply, "I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!"
41
As he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42
saying, "If this day you only knew what makes for peace--but now it is hidden from your eyes.

Joy to the World! Peace Among All Mankind!

Oy to the World?

52 Early in the morning on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month, which is the month of Chislev, in the one hundred and forty-eighth year,* 53they rose and offered sacrifice, as the law directs, on the new altar of burnt-offering that they had built. 54At the very season and on the very day that the Gentiles had profaned it, it was dedicated with songs and harps and lutes and cymbals. 55All the people fell on their faces and worshipped and blessed Heaven, who had prospered them. 56So they celebrated the dedication of the altar for eight days, and joyfully offered burnt-offerings; they offered a sacrifice of well-being and a thanksgiving-offering. 57They decorated the front of the temple with golden crowns and small shields; they restored the gates and the chambers for the priests, and fitted them with doors. 58There was very great joy among the people, and the disgrace brought by the Gentiles was removed.

59 Then Judas and his brothers and all the assembly of Israel determined that every year at that season the days of dedication of the altar should be observed with joy and gladness for eight days, beginning with the twenty-fifth day of the month of Chislev.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
