Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is the reception by the authors of the Old Polish New Testament Apocrypha in the field of crowd behavior during Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The article begins with an analysis of the canonical texts and goes on to refer to the manner of reception in the Old Polish Apocrypha of the representation of the collective hero. The authors of these texts tried to present the events precisely, taking into account many elements of the evangelists’ message, often adding their own observations or including apocryphal threads in the narrative.
