Jesus' triumphant ride into Jerusalem on a donkey - to fulfil a prophesy that the Messiah would enter Jerusalem on an ass and not on a horse.
The people who greeted him laid their cloaks on the ground to make a carpet for him to walk over. In addition they pulled off palm branches from the nearby trees and waved them as they greeted him (equivalent to waving, say, flags today if a monarch or head of state visits a city).
This is the reason why it is called 'palm' Sunday.
