Palm Sunday Walks
The Palm Sunday Path Movement is a faith-based movement of Christians
participating in processions in cities and towns throughout the
country on Palm Sunday, March 29. This Movement is inspired by
Jesus’ dramatic and public entry into Jerusalem, which challenged the
political and religious leaders of his time by proclaiming the coming
of God's reign into the world. Like Jesus' entry into Jerusalem 2000
years ago, Palm Sunday Path participants will enter various towns and cities
throughout the country on Palm Sunday 2026 to announce the coming of
God's Reign and to advocate for justice for the poor and marginalized,
an end to government cruelty, reconciliation among enemies and an end
to violence and war.

Palm Sunday Walks will take place in Madison and Appleton. Madison
walkers will meet at the King Street corner of Capital Square at 2:30
PM. Appleton walkers will meet at Houdini Plaza at 1:00 PM..
