Usual progression for Holy Week: Triumph on Palm Sunday, Solemnity/Nostalgia on Maundy Thursday, Grief on Good Friday, Fear on Holy Saturday, Joy on Easter Sunday. But what about humor?

Clothes put on donkeys back -- they dressed him up?



Contrast the humor with the dangerous seriousness of passover Jerusalem.


Even today, we still don't get the joke. We're still looking for a power messiah.

Did the crowd get the joke? Well, sort of. Actually, yes, I think they did. They just didn't think it was funny. Have you ever gotten the sense that someone is subtly making fun of you? Mocking your ideas, your worldview, your philosophy? We like to laugh at others, but we do not like to be mocked.

The crowd got the joke, but maybe we're the ones who don't get it.
