Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew phrase הוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא (Hoshia Na)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H3467 (יָשַׁע, yasha) - to save, deliver; H4994 (נָא, na) - please, now

Usage: The term "hósanna" is an exclamation of praise or adoration, often translated as "save now" or "save, please." In the New Testament, it is used as a shout of jubilation and recognition of Jesus as the Messiah during His triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

Cultural and Historical Background: "Hosanna" originates from a Hebrew expression found in Psalm 118:25, which was part of the Hallel, a series of psalms (113-118) sung during Jewish festivals such as Passover. By the time of Jesus, "hosanna" had evolved into a liturgical expression of praise and was used during the Feast of Tabernacles. The crowds' use of "hosanna" during Jesus' entry into Jerusalem reflects their hope for deliverance and recognition of Him as the promised Messiah.
