On the road to Jerusalem, Jesus rode a donkey. People ran to meet him, laying their cloaks and palm branches before him, shouting, "Hosanna! "God is coming to save us! Hosanna!" The people waved palm branches to honor him as king.

Jesus washed his disciples' feet. He gave them bread and wine saying, "Do this to remember me."

After dinner, Jesus and his friends went to the garden of Gethsemane. "Stay awake and pray with me. I am afraid," Jesus asked his friends. But they fell asleep. Jesus prayed. The soldiers came.

The soldiers brought Jesus before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Jerusalem. Jesus was sentenced to die. The soldiers made fun of him and crowned him a crown of thorns, calling him "King of the Jews."

Jesus was crucified on Golgotha, the place of the skull. The soldiers nailed him to a cross and left him there to die.

After Jesus died, they took his body down from the cross. He was buried in a tomb that belonged to Joseph of Arimathea. Pontius Pilate sent guards to watch the tomb so no one could take the body.

Early Sunday morning, two women named Mary went to the tomb. There, they found the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. An angel appeared, saying to them, "Do not be afraid. You are looking for Jesus, but he is not here. He is risen." The women were amazed and ran to share the news with Jesus' friends, "Jesus is alive!"
