Matthew 21:8 - A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
I wonder who first thought, "Hey, I know! I'll take off my cloak and toss it down on the road in front of the donkeys so Jesus will ride over it." I'm sure they thought it was an honorable thing to do at the time. Perhaps it had some historical precedent and meaning of which I am unaware. If not, then I wonder where the idea came from.
Pretty much the same with the palm branches. Whether they had cut them earlier or on the spot, I wonder who thought it was a good idea to throw them down on the road.
