– Comes from the Hebrew: hoshi’ah nna , save! In Latin, it had its meaning expanded to health and glory. With these meanings, it is a hymn of praise and thanksgiving, sung in ceremonies on Palm Sunday, repeating the acclamations of the people in the past to Jesus:
Mt 21,9.15 : Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heavens!
Mk 11:9 : Both those who preceded and those who followed shouted: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
Jo 12,13 : Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!
