Palm Sunday is soon to be here, and that doesn't just mean it's almost time to drink soda and eat candy again, folks. But it does mean that it's time to stock up on your palms!
In many christian churches it is tradition to decorate with and distribute palm leaves, which are often tied into the shape of a cross. Palm branches symbolize triumph, victory, and welcome. When you take your palm home it is common to save it, often by placing it on a crucifix, holy picture, or other blessed object in the house. This reminds those who see it that Christ is a part of their daily lives. It is also tradition to burn the palm the following year in order to provide ashes for Ash Wednesday. [Christians love recycling too, not just hippies!]
Palms are typically only in demand this time of year [surprising, I know], so they aren't that easy to get ahold of. Luckily, at Arapahoe Floral we have a few tricks up our sleeves. That's right, we're not just about flowers! We have your backs once again...
Give us a call [the sooner the better] and we can have palms ready for you to pick up whenever you find convenient. We are always more than happy to accommodate any order- no matter how big or small! Happy Holy Week, readers :)
