Harris's narrative ranges from ancient Jerusalem to modern-day Bolivia, from veneration to iconoclasm, and from Christ to Ivan the Terrible. A curious theme emerges: those representations of Christ's entry into Jerusalem that were labelled blasphemous or idolatrous by those in power were most faithful to the biblical narrative of Palm Sunday, while those that exalted power and celebrated military triumph were arguably blasphemous pageants. 410 0$aEarly social performance. 606 $aPalm Sunday 606 $aProcessions, Religious$xChristianity 610 $aDonkeys. 610 $aPalm Sunday. 610 $aProcessions. 610 $aTriumphal Entries. 615 0$aPalm Sunday. 615 0$aProcessions, Religious$xChristianity. 676 $a263.925 700 $aHarris$b Max$f1949-$01604576 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818834403321 996 $aChrist on a donkey$94125008 997 $aUNINA
