Word origin

The word โ€˜hosannaโ€™ originates from the Hebrew phrase โ€˜hoshi'a naโ€™, meaning โ€˜save us, pleaseโ€™ or โ€˜save 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, โ€˜hosannaโ€™ 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.
