Yes, and we'll need some more Palestine archaeological discoveries about the #Assines to help promote the emoji... 🙂

Palm Sunday.

The #Assines: a proto-monastic donkey community based in caves alongside the Dead Sea, where they trained to be the donkey that would carry the Messiah into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, and not be spooked by doves.

I haven't yet explored the biblical donkey's perspective, and it could be that in Palestine in the first century AD, a young donkey - possibly part of the People's Popular Front of Judaea, or the #Assines, trained to expect the Messiah at any moment - may have been more disciplined and refrained from eating the palms. 🤗
