They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the King of Israel!”
John 12:13
A week before Easter, people go to churches with palm stalks in hand...
Kids help their parents make them and they are also the ones who go around and sell them.
It is usually the grownups who are observing this practice but their kids are dragged along,
usually bored with the ceremonies...
The palm stalks are a form of worship for the people, they are blessed by the priest after the ceremony
