It is interesting to note that the
“Hosanna” call, made during the
chanting, is similar to the Hebrew
word “Hosha’ na”, which is a call for
God’s salvation.
This call is made during the Jewish
festival of Sukkot, while waving palm
fronds .
The crowd who greeted Jesus in
Jerusalem was Jewish, and called
Hosha’ na” out to him, asking for“
salvation from a Messiah.
The original sound of the call was
kept by the translators of the New
Testament, and so it is used to this
day.
