That is why the crowd was so large that day. Creator Sets Free (Jesus) came riding down Olive Mountain and went into Village of Peace (Jerusalem). His twelve followers encircled him and led the donkey forward. He did not fit the powerful image of a conquering ruler, for he was not riding a warhorse.

It was mostly the common people who welcomed him that day.
