The ash placed on your foreheads on Ash Wednesday comes from the palms on Palm Sunday.

Happy Palm Sunday

The name Palm Sunday comes from the tradition for worshippers being given palm fronds which they use to participate in the reenactment of Christ’s arrival in Jerusalem.

Once again, Our sponsor ACME will quote the great theologian, my mother:

I swear to God if you kids don’t cut that shit out, I will beat your asses all the way home with those palms, in front of all your friends. I don’t care how embarrassed you are.”

St. Monica of Hippo has nothing on the good doctor’s mom.
