Hosanna is a term used in Christianity, particularly in the context of the Bible and in liturgical worship. It is derived from a Hebrew phrase meaning "Save, we pray!" or "Save now!" and is often used as an exclamation of praise, adoration, or joy, particularly in reference to Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, Hosanna is famously shouted by the crowds as Jesus enters Jerusalem on what would later become known as Palm Sunday. The word is often associated with Jesus' triumphal entry into the city, as the crowds lay palm branches before him and shout "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" (Matthew 21:9). In the context of Psalm 118, Hosanna is a term of exultation and praise to God. This Psalm is known as one of the "Hallel" Psalms, which were traditionally sung during Jewish festivals and holidays, including Passover. Verse 25 of Psalm 118 reads, "Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, give us...
