A Palm Sunday Tidbit

March 25, 2018

Ciao a tutti!

Hold the thought on the guest spot that was originally planned for today. Great things take time and we've decided to give ourselves a little more on this one. Stay tuned!

The switcheroo gives me a great opportunity to share a Palm Sunday tidbit that I find interesting and thought you might too. Did you know that in Italy it is customary to give out olive branches instead of palms on Palm Sunday? I had no idea! Because palms are not readily available in Italy they are often replaced with branches from olive trees to commemorate this special day.

The olive tree, which is in great abundance in Italy, symbolizes both the local olive culture and, more fittingly, it is a symbol of peace. At Easter in Rome you will see the Pope blessing both.

Blessings to all on this Palm Sunday. Big Love, PatriciaG
