Word origin
The word โhosannaโ originates from the Hebrew phrase โhoshi'a naโ, meaning โsave us, pleaseโ or โsave nowโ. It appears in the Biblical context during the time of Jesusโ entry into Jerusalem, where it was used by the crowds to honor Him. Over time, โhosannaโ has evolved in its use, particularly within Christian liturgy, where it is now predominantly an expression of joy and praise rather than a plea for salvation. The transformation of its meaning reflects broader theological themes of celebration and recognition of divine authority in Christian worship.
