Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter, the sixth Sunday in Lent.
Palm Sunday is the last Sunday of Lent and the Sunday before Easter. It begins Holy Week.
Because it is tied to Easter, its calendar date changes every year. Records that use it, such as a confirmation on Palm Sunday, can be dated once you know when Easter fell.
