TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Next weekend, many churches provide palms to be carried
in the opening moments of the liturgy, as we gratefully
recall Jesus entry into the holy city of Jerusalem. The
children who greeted him on that day used what was both
handy and traditional, since palms were carried to
inaugurate the joyful harvest feast of Succoth. To this day,
faithful Jews are directed to take a beautiful palm branch,
green and straight as possible, called a lulav, and bind it
with three myrtle branches fifteen inches long, and two
longer willow branches. At the end of the temple service,
everyone carries the lulav, circling the sanctuary in a
dance called the Hoshanot, singing hymns of joy.
In other climates, Jews and Christians alike have had to
make accommodations over the years. In Italy, everyone
carries olive branches today, often brought from their own
garden. In England, forsythia branches are preferred, a
relative of the olive, sign of peace. Germans prefer
pussywillows, and others look for flowering spring
branches. In our part of the world, what do you think would
be the best choice to express joy and welcome, and to
remind us of the joy of Christ s victory even as we prepare
to commemorate his passion?
