Why Is the Passion Account Read on Palm Sunday?

Question:

Why is the Lord’s Passion read on Palm Sunday?

Answer:

One reason is tradition.

The other is that Holy Thursday and Good Friday are not days of obligation. Having the Passion read on Palm Sunday allows as many Catholics as possible to liturgically participate in the Passion.
