How is Palm Sunday celebrated in Protestant churches?
As a Catholic, I know how we celebrate it and would like to know if Protestants have any special rituals that they do on this first day of Holy Week.

Yes, Protestants celebrate Palm Sunday in their church services, but I wouldn't say it was a "ritual." Our sermon this morning was all about Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, seven days before he was crucified. The children bring palm leaves (not necessarily real, because they are in short supply here in the U.K.) and they are placed around the church. The focus is on those last days of Jesus' life, and the events leading up to Passover.
I think you might be pleasantly surprised to realise how similar our services are as we dwell on the significance of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and the events that lead our Lord and Saviour to Calvary.

A normal church service but at the end of the service palm crosses are given out. In the past people who made these crosses were called Palmer. The palms come from Israel
