Hosanna
a form of Jewish acclamatory prayer or blessing, derived originally from Ps. cxviii:25. It was often uttered at the Feast of Tabernacles, when the 25th and 26th verses of Psalm cxviii. were repeated. It therefore came to be used for the branches of myrtle, etc., or for the great palm leaves, carried about at the festival, or even for the festival itself. Also the acclamation raised by "the whole multitude of the disciples" (Luke xix: 37) on our Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. It is now employed as an acclamation of praise.
