Emmanuel Goldstein Posted April 4, 2020 Report Posted April 4, 2020 We are having a church wide Solemn Assembly along with the Hosanna shout on Palm Sunday; the day the Lord heard that same cry by the people in Jerusalem. Interesting, I hope to feel the Spirit in a special way tomorrow. askandanswer, MrShorty, Vort and 3 others 6 Quote
Emmanuel Goldstein Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Posted April 5, 2020 Quote The Hosanna Shout is whole-souled, given to the full limit of one's strength. The congregation stands and in unison shouts the words "Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to God and the Lamb. Amen, Amen, and Amen," repeating them three times. This is usually accompanied by the rhythmic waving of white handkerchiefs with uplifted hands. The epithet "Lamb" relates to the condescension and Atonement of Jesus Christ. The Hosanna Shout memorializes the pre-earthly Council in Heaven, as "when … all the sons of God shouted for joy" (Job 38:7). It also recalls the hosannas and the waving of palm branches accorded the Messiah as he entered Jerusalem. And hosannas welcomed him as he appeared to the Nephites. [LDS Church] President Lorenzo Snow taught that this shout will herald the Messiah when he comes in the glory of the Father (cf. 1 Thes. 4:16). -Encyclopedia of Mormonism Colirio 1 Quote
