Make social and environmental justice part of your parish's Palm Sunday celebration
The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 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: 12-13)
Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem was accented by the jubilant waving of palm branches is re-enacted each Palm Sunday in Lutheran and other Christian congregations worldwide as our observance of Holy Week begins.
Unfortunately, for the communities where these palms are harvested, palm fronds do not always represent the same jubilation they do for us.
