Pope Francis' prayer intentions for March 2016

Jesus triumphant entry into Jerusalem [Palm Sunday]

Where do the palms for Palm Sunday come from?

By Adelaide Mena (CNA/EWTN News)

The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem the week before his passion.

With Palm Sunday right around the corner, Catholics across the globe will soon be handed leaves as they walk into church. Some might fold them into elaborate little crosses. Kids will poke each other with them. But it's safe to say most won't know where they came from. 

Washington D.C., (CNA/EWTN News) - The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem the week before his passion and crucifixion. The Gospels attest that as Jesus entered the city, crowds lay down palm branches and cloaks as he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.

For centuries, Christians have commemorated the feast day that begins Holy Week by waving branches of either palm or another local tree, as well as with liturgical processions and other celebrations.

In the U.S. alone, nearly 18,000 Catholic parishes will celebrate Palm Sunday by blessing and distributing palm branches to the faithful. That makes millions of palm leaves each year - and that doesn't include all of the Protestant churches that observe the tradition.

Where do all those palms come from? While many Catholics know the final destination of their palms - they are burned to become ashes for next year's Ash Wednesday - the origin of the leafy branches is less well known.

The journey from tree to church begins with the harvesters around the world who cut and prepare the leaves for their role in worship. The work needed to provide palms for Palm Sunday is so immense that it actually constitutes a full-time year-round job for some harvesters.

Thomas Sowell is one such palm harvester from Florida who has been helping to supply parishes with fresh palm leaves for more than five decades. Sowell began harvesting wild palm leaves from trees as a child to earn extra money in the springtime. Over the past several decades, he has grown his business into a palm supplier that ships the leafy branches to all 50 states and Canada.

Despite the growth in his business, Sowell says he tries to maintain his focus on the purpose behind it all.

"We try to do the best job that we can," he told CNA. "Every bag that we send out to churches, every individual bag has been examined, cleaned - we go to extreme measures to make sure that everything we do for these churches is done in the honor of Jesus Christ."

While there are more than 2,600 different species of palm that grow across the world, palm plants cannot survive outside of tropical and subtropical climates. Historically, parishes that could not source palm locally would instead substitute branches of another local tree such as olive or willow, although modern churches also have the option of sourcing palm fronds from other regions of the world.

In the United States and Canada, most parishes seek out suppliers who deliver fresh palms shortly before Palm Sunday, said Fr. Michael J. Flynn, Secretariat of Divine Worship for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Many of these parishes contact church goods suppliers such as Peter Munley of Falls Church, Virginia, who helps provide parishes year-round with supplies like candles and sacramental wine, along with palms for Holy Week.

Munley told CNA that in preparation for Palm Sunday, he works to deliver palms from their source to different parishes that place orders around the country. In addition to Florida, palms are sourced from Texas, California and elsewhere in the Southern United States, he said.

While nearly all of the palms Munley sells are individually pre-cut, church goods suppliers also helps to source decorative palms for altar centerpieces and larger palm fronds as well. Dealers also work to ensure that palms get burnt and ground into ashes for Ash Wednesday, for parishes that cannot burn the palms for ashes themselves.

Daily Reading for Thursday, March 17th, 2016 HD

Reading 1, Genesis 17:3-9
³ And Abram bowed to the ground. God spoke to him as follows,
⁴ 'For my part, this is my covenant with you: you will become the father of many nations.
⁵ And you are no longer to be called Abram; your name is to be Abraham, for I am making you father of many nations.
⁶ I shall make you exceedingly fertile. I shall make you into nations, and your issue will be kings.
⁷ And I shall maintain my covenant between myself and you, and your descendants after you, generation after generation, as a covenant in perpetuity, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
⁸ And to you and to your descendants after you, I shall give the country where you are now immigrants, the entire land of Canaan, to own in perpetuity. And I shall be their God.'
⁹ God further said to Abraham, 'You for your part must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you, generation after generation.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 105:4-5, 6-7, 8-9

⁴ Seek Yahweh and his strength, tirelessly seek his presence!
⁵ Remember the marvels he has done, his wonders, the judgements he has spoken.
⁶ Stock of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob whom he chose!
⁷ He is Yahweh our God, his judgements touch the whole world.
⁸ He remembers his covenant for ever, the promise he laid down for a thousand generations,
⁹ which he concluded with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.

Gospel, John 8:51-59

⁵¹ In all truth I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.
⁵² The Jews said, 'Now we know that you are possessed. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead, and yet you say, "Whoever keeps my word will never know the taste of death."
⁵³ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? The prophets are dead too. Who are you claiming to be?'
⁵⁴ Jesus answered: If I were to seek my own glory my glory would be worth nothing; in fact, my glory is conferred by the Father, by the one of whom you say, 'He is our God,'
⁵⁵ although you do not know him. But I know him, and if I were to say, 'I do not know him,' I should be a liar, as you yourselves are. But I do know him, and I keep his word.
⁵⁶ Your father Abraham rejoiced to think that he would see my Day; he saw it and was glad.
⁵⁷ The Jews then said, 'You are not fifty yet, and you have seen Abraham!'
⁵⁸ Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, before Abraham ever was, I am.
⁵⁹ At this they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself and left the Temple.
