The day after Palm Sunday is usually called Holy Monday or the Monday of Holy Week. In the Christian Holy Week timeline, it’s traditionally remembered as the day Jesus went back to Jerusalem and cleansed the Temple.

Quick Scoop

In many Gospel timelines, Holy Monday includes:

  • Jesus entering the Temple area again.
  • Jesus driving out merchants and money changers.
  • Jesus teaching there and facing growing opposition from religious leaders.

Why it matters

Palm Sunday celebrates Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, while the next day shifts the story from celebration to conflict. That’s why Holy Monday is often seen as the start of the week’s rising tension leading to Good Friday and Easter.

In short

If you mean the Christian calendar, the day after Palm Sunday is Holy Monday, and the commonly noted event is the cleansing of the Temple.
