Palm Pre|

Chick-A- Deedle asked:


Can anyone tell me the first origins of the symbolism of “Palm Sunday”?

I’m well aware of the Christian meaning, but I can’t seem to recall the PRE-Christian traditions of the ritual. The husband and I were talking about it earlier and neither one of us can remember where the whole thing started. Macedonia? Crete? Mithras? We’re driving outselves nuts over trying to recall where this tradition began. Ten points to the first person to refresh our memory on the subject!
