Cultural/Historical ContextLabel
Christ is shown riding an ass toward an ornate building symbolizing the gateway to the city of Jerusalem. Five of his disciples accompany him while a small crowd gathers at the gate waving palms toward Christ. Two small children honor the Lord by placing cloths on the ground for the donkey to walk on. A tall palm rises directly behind Christ, while an ornate hill is shown behind his disciples. The figures wear red and blue draperies.
