Can someone explain to me the Hosanna (edited) shout?
I have a hard enough time with all the rituals that I didn't need to see another one.

It is a tradition, I suppose linked to the idea we will praise God when he comes. Given the fact, the Apostle must coach us on it, makes it less than spontaneous.

Thanks for that. I didn't even get the name right. The Hosanna Shout not hallelujah. |

It's supposed to be a shout - a shout of rejoicing. The times I've seen it done make me think it should be renamed to the Hosanna Mumble. People don't shout/rejoice like they should. Instead, they nervously and embarrassedly mumble as they wave their handkerchief. Wusses.
