What is your favorite thing to do with your palms?
I just usually put them next to a icon that I have of the resurrection. And then put them on my crucifix for the remainder of the year. I read somewhere long ago that we are supposed to bring them back to church before ash Wednesday to be burned. And the ashes is what is put on our forehead for ash Wednesday. Is this true?
@@user-qe5ou2je6i Yes.
No. The ash they rubbed on your forehead is from protestants they burned during the counter reformation.@@user-qe5ou2je6i
Yes, it is true. The priest at my parish asked us to bring them to church about 2 months ago to use them for ashes on Ash Wednesday.
put under your mattress.
As a new catholic, former Muslim hallelujah, I put one palm above each door frame in my house as an extra protection from God. I keep them there until next Palm Sunday and then replace them.
Give your Palm from the year before and give it to the church a week before Ash Wednesday... they use for the ashes on Ash Wednesday ✝️
Thank you for sharing this! God bless you and have a blessed Holy Week!
@@patriciajohnson1894 I did not know that, thank you for sharing. I have a lot to learn
Cradle or new Catholics, we all have a lifetime to learn and appreciate our wonderful faith. Hanging blessed palms on door frames (for us it's windows) is a common practice here in the Philippines. Have a blessed Holy Week. ❤
Amen! I’m so happy to hear this- I do the same thing and also put a blessed palm in my vehicle. God bless you!
Thank you for your tips! This is my first Palm Sunday, and I'll be baptised this coming Easter Vigil as of writing this :)
What a blessed day for you! And wonderful that you are being baptized soon. We will keep you in our prayers!
How wonderful! My favorite part of the Easter Vigil. God bless you and welcome Home!
God bless you! I am coming up on my 15th anniversary as a Catholic, Deo gratias!
Welcome home! May God bless you. 💗🙏
Congratulations and God bless you! I am being confirmed into the Church at the Easter vigil 😊
I am being baptized Catholic this Easter, and I am so excited. This was my first Palm Sunday service, and it was beautiful. It wasn't explained what to do with the palms, so this video is very helpful.
Congratulations! What a blessing to know you are entering the church. Pleas know we are praying for you; you only have a couple more days to go... so exciting!!
Welcome Home dear. May Our Lord Bless and keep you , always😇💖
In Ireland we keep it in the house we believe that the blessed palm keeps us safe from fire 🔥
I always put a palm in my car to bless me and keep me safe as I drive. I started this after seeing another Catholic friend do this.
Thanks for sharing these great ideas. I usually fold it into a cross.
My young niece & I have to fly to the hospital (500 miles away) this week for her appointment. My sister died 2yrs ago so I'm going to be the medical escort for my niece. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you.
I appreciate you being with us !
We will definitely pray for a safe trip for you both, Lena. God bless you for taking such good care of your niece!
@@catholicmomanddaughter Thank you very much.
This morning we had a visiting priest from our diocese & he'll be here in our village until after Easter! We had to use willow branches instead of palms since our palms didn't arrive in the mail due weather. I wish I could send you a pic.
Have a blessed week.
Sending prayers. ✝️🙏🌹
@@mrnmrn1628 Thank you. Have a blessed week.
Praying for you and your niece. God bless you 🙏
I get putting a piece of palm under your bed. Demons hate things that are holy. With a blessed palm, it can keep them away from influencing your dreams when you sleep. I have my miraculous medal inside my pillow and I sprinkle holy water on my bed and my room at night. For me it's like declaring "This is God's property." Coming from a country with a significant pressence of the occult, we have sacramentals scattered around our house and property. May you all have a meaningful Holy Week.
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. Spiritual warfare is very real. Have a blessed and happy Easter!
Cradle born catholic-christian here. Its a tradition in my family since we were kids, at Palm Sunday we each got a blessed palm. After Mass, dad would form a lovely cross out of each palm & we'd hang it in the rooms of our home. Each year, growing up, the parish priest pre-Lent would announce for us to bring our dried blessed palms which they'd burn to get ashes for upcoming Ash Wednesday. Dad taught each of us how to make this cross. So now we continue it. Yesterday 24Mar.2024, I made crosses of my blessed palms after Mass, proudly brought them home to hang on my wall.✝️🙏🌹
That is beautiful! Thank you for sharing :)
Protestant here. You two are adorable. Nice to see a Catholic channel that doesn’t spend half its time bashing Protestants. Keep up the good work. Love learning from this channel. Blessings!
Jesus started Catholic church. Take RCIA
Thank you for your kinds words! Have a blessed Holy week and Easter!
keep one in your car, to remind you of God's blessing and protection while you drive.
I make many small crosses for all my families cars 🌻🌻🌻
Hi from Malaysia! I just came home from Palm Sunday Mass. This is so timely and helpful. Have a blessed Holy Week ahead! 🙏
Wonderful! We hope your Holy Week is blessed as well :)
In the Philippines, our palms are cut and woven into various designs with ribbons and paper flowers, etc., and the more extravagant the design the more expensive it is. (We buy it before it is blessed and it only costs P25-50 which is less than a dollar American.) It is then used as a religious decoration in the home. It can be tied to a window, door or hung somewhere in the house, indoor or outdoor. Some people like to buy several to put everywhere in their houses or to give away to relatives who are unable to go to mass.
What a lovely tradition! Thanks for sharing :)
Grew up in rural Kansas, as a child we would burn small amounts of them during bad weather an d ask for protection. Most especially during those horrible tornadoes that sent us running for the basement for safety. God is good.
Jennifer grew up in Oklahoma... this makes perfect sense!
I'm our country (Philippines 🇵🇭)we put the the blessed palms on the altar, windows and doors for protection to evil spirits..
Thank you so much for your video. It ROCKS TO BE CATHOLIC. My favorite thing to do is watch Ben Hur on palm Sunday. It has been a tradition in my house hold for many years ago. Have a blessed palm Sunday to all my brothers and sisters across the world . ❤❤🌴🌴🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
Ben Hur is classic!
Yes It won't be complete without watching ben hur in the evening and next week on Easter Sunday is of course the ten commandments with Charleston and Anne Baxter.
when we had some bad storms ... my grandmother would burn some palms in her coal stove and ask our Lord to get us home safe or prayer for him to let the storm up...i do this today..but in a small glass bowl on a table
Kinda like what we did. For protection against strong winds, hailstorms, any danger of anything. But now I burn on my stove burner and turn on fan while reciting an Apostles Creed, Our Father, Hail Mary's. God is Great, blessings
that's great@@beagrine2657
Hello I make the CROWN of JESUS thats my favorite I think It's the most BEAUTIFUL CROWN and also put flowers instead of thorns😊
Our church always give palms as the cross. Each year, for many years now, I take a couple of extra palms and I place them round my house, and I remove the last years ones and then take them to my parents and brother's graves and tuck them into the soli there. It feels like I'm wishing them happy Easter and reminding myself of the promise of resurrection.
That is truly beautiful. May your brother and parents rest in peace in God's loving mercy.
Thank you for this idea! I'm going to do this for my grandpa who passed away a few months ago, he was not catholic, and he was an alcoholic for most of his life, complications from that are what eventually lead to his death, however a couple of months before he died, he gave his heart to Christ and gave up drinking! I love this idea to help me pray for his soul!
@kelsi8593 there's always hope, I'm glad he took that choice. May he rest in peace and may you have peace too. Bless you.
We will join you in praying for him. What a blessing that he gave his heart to Christ! @@kelsi8593
@catholicmomanddaughter thank you so much 💙
In the UK the palms are dried already and they are shaped into crosses when we get them. One church we want to didn't distribute palms - we were asked to bring leaves and branches from our gardens to wave and they were blessed. The idea was that palms are local in Jerusalem so we used local branches in England. For those that didn't have gardens, branches were provided and the benedictine monks that ran the church took the opportunity to prune their garden at the same time. The idea of a bonfire party on the eve of the feast of St John the baptist is great.
That is so interesting, Cathy! We wonder here how they get them already dried and shaped as crosses. It's also a very interesting idea to bring local greenery; we know that in some areas of the world that is always the custom. It's so fun to read about everyone's traditions!
Lutheran here. We also bring ours pack for Ash Wed ashes. And; an 11th is to keep them on a home altar, similar to behind the crucifix. Thanks for the fun ideas!
A great idea! Thank you for sharing :)
I sure do wish that I'd have learned to weave them. I'm disabled, and no longer attend, except online, and receive Communion at home. I've gone through many years of Palm Sunday's, and might have used many, with children, and grandchildren. Thank you, and God bless you both. Happy and blessed Palm Sunday!
Thank you- you, too!
Same to you. God bless.✝️🙏🌹
Today was my first Palm Sunday. I only took one frond; originally I was going to hang it above an arch my apartment has, but now will maybe do the cross idea. Next year I might take two or three and do some weaving. I'm not sure I will do it with this first one, but perhaps will try painting on one in the future. Maybe verses from the given year's reading at Mass. I didn't know they could be cut or drawn upon, so now there feels like so many options.
What a wonderful idea to add a verse! God bless you yo on your first Palm Sunday- a very special day!
I suggest saving this video in a playlist for next year. I started one last year and was excited to get home with my palms and get weaving and folding. I tried the crown of thorns weave for the first time and it came out nicely.
Thanks for the tips, addition to that, keep the palm, whenever you expect a natural disaster. like thunders storm o wind, get the bless palm out door and burn it, let the smoke of the palm goes up and see how powerful it is,praise the lord.. amen
Thank you for this video when I first became Catholic many years ago and unfortunately I left the church. I didn’t know what to do with the palms I’ll most definitely did not do the right thing that is all I will say guess I’ll be talking to my priest.. But the other years since I’ve come back, I usually give them to the church, so it is good to know what is appropriate
Come back home… once a Catholic, always Catholic.
Oh I’m gonna put some in our barn for our animals!!! Didn’t know that!
I congrat you, it's a great channel, don't stop making more videos for Catholics Thankyou very much God bless you
More to come- thank you for your kind words!
0:50 Yes, and to everyone watching, please don’t make crosses out of them during mass. It’s directing your attention away from the mass, it’s distracting to others who are trying to focus, and it’s also causing the small strips to fall on the floor. They’re blessed by Almighty God and need to be treated as such.
Those are some great recommendations! I’ve never heard of the St John’s fires but I’ll have to look into that as a southerner.
For my part, my palms will go in a nice old jar on my home altar. I will tie a string around the mouth of the jar and put a Saint’s medal on it or something of that nature. I may even place a Catholic sticker on the jar and fill it with flowers occasionally in memory of that moment of Christ entering Jerusalem. This helps my pray time a lot, just be sure to leave the palm fronds when you clear out the flowers 😆
Great tips ladies! Thank you and God Bless
That is beautiful! We love that idea :)
Saying Hi from Trinidad & Tobago God Bless
Ok one is going in our garden too!!!
I ardently miss the beautifully crafted palaspas we had in Pinas ‼️
We have seen pictures of some really beautiful ones!

What a special channel you two have made! I just happened to stumble upon it. Thank you ladies for this valuable resource. I love that you’re making the vids together as mother and daughter. That’s so beautiful! Happy Holy Week! New sub 👍🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words! It is our joy to work together on these videos :)
Thank you. I didn't have a clue.
Love your Chosen shirt sis!!! That series is what awakened my faith and brought me to want to learn more about our faith!!! ❤ from Kristy in Missouri 😃🙏📿🇺🇸
We are Chosen fans here- and we're always glad to meet another! God bless 😊
Amen 🙏 ✝️🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for all your beautiful suggestion. For a change this year I made small rosettes! Very easy to make.
We enjoyed making rosettes this year, too!
Wow!!! All Fantastic ideas!!! I' ll definitely share with friends and family. Great job ladies. God bless you ❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
All great ideas! I always wondered what else I could do with palms. I’m going to make bookmarks with one of the palm leaves and make crosses with the rest. 👍🏼
Sounds great! Have a blessed Holy Week!
It's very informative. Thank you. I was trying to figure out what to do with my blessed palm.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, You have great ideas. Thank you for sharing so, many. I will look at some of the ideas. Never seen the flower before. It looks great. Glad to find your channel. Stay safe. Have a good night. God Bless and family too!! Xo 😘 God Bless always!! Xo 😘🩷
Thank you! Have a happy and blessed Holy Week and Easter :)
Last year i made the crosses and hung all of them in the bedrooms over the beds, but this year I framed the crosses in a picture frame and put it on the fireplace mantel. ❤ Loved the video!
We love the frame idea! Thank you for sharing :)
My mother either put our palms under the mattress or behind the crucifix on the bedrooms. Years ago our priest in residence taught us how to braid a little flower and slide it down the length of a long frond. We also used the flowers to decorate the fan style palms in the church. Enjoyed your mother-daughter show. Have a blessed Easter.
Thank you! You, too!
Love the St. John the Baptist fire 😄and Bible/prayer bookmark🙏🏽❤️✝️
We are big fans of St. John the Baptist here :)
This is such a fun and informative video. Thank you so much! These are all great ideas. I especially love the idea of putting the palms in water when I get home from Mass so I'll do that next year. No one else in my family is Catholic (the ones who were Catholic have passed away) so I usually just get one small palm and put it near the crucifix in my little home office and then in the summer I have my husband bury the one from the previous year in our garden. I just realized last year he buried it in an area where we planted flower seeds and we had an unusually huge crop of flowers there. Sadly I didn't put this together until you mentioned it.
We like your traditions!
Great suggestions. I used to make the crosses and leave them on my prayer table. In recent years I’ve folded mine into a scepter which I lay before my image of the Infant of Prague. I try to take them each year to the church before Ash Wednesday. When that is not an option I keep them until the next year and offer them along with those from the current year. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Very nice idea to make the scepter!
I wish I could have a blessed palm leaf cross...
In the 🇵🇭, we put it on the front/main door of our house.
In New Zealand we use macrocapa leaves and I simply thread the leaf stalk through the hanging hook of my antique silver crucifix. We use last year's "palms" to start our first winter fire. We've just had our autumn equinox so that's three months from now till winter.
That sounds like a lovely tradition!
I made a simple cross for my entryway and put some in a vase on my altar. My palm from last year will be buried in my backyard. ✨✨ BTW, I got excited when I saw the 5&2 tee shirt. As a huge Chosen fan (or fanatic), I have both the tee and hoodie & wear them proudly. ✝️📿🕊️✨🌷
Beautiful ideas! Yes, we are fans, too! We started watching during the pandemic and then were extras for the F5K, so that was fun. We are always happy to met another Chosen fan. Have a blessed Holy Week!
@@catholicmomanddaughter I checked out your playlist and see you have some videos on it! I’m excited to watch them.
🙏🙏
We in Puerto Rico use them in the crufix, front door, and in the cars rear mirrors 😂😂😂
We always love to hear your ideas; thanks for sharing them! Kate loved visiting PR in January :)
God bless you both for spreading important information. I dread to think how many people merely throw blessed palms away!
There should be a statement read in Church and placed in the bulletin. ❤
my grandmother would burn palm when weather was bad, I do the same I am 80 and she died when I was15
We did the same, and prayed an Apostles Creed, our Father, and Hail Mary's. Always for protection against danger from anything bad.
Our priest and bishop say to keep the palms somewhere visible and see observe them change throughout the year. I keep mine on my home altar.
That is a really wonderful idea, Ally. Thanks for sharing it!
I thought of this today.
Thank you for this engaging topic. I never thought of about the strands of palms left behind. Now I am hoping I didn't step on any this morning or in the past, I am the person who just puts it behind a picture of our Blessed Mother. I see it more than I see the cross in my home. I tried to put it behind the cross but that didn't work. Not sure why. My family members used to make the cross during the homily, which I found entirely distracting. Thanks again for the interesting ideas.
Behind the Blessed Mother is a great idea, Ann! We were happy this morning in church that we didn't see any shreds left behind :)
There are not many palms in Switzerland. So we use bouquets of evergreen bushes that we hang onto the crucifixes on the wall instead.
We also make 'trees' out of a large piece of wood with a cross on top. It gets decorated with holly (for remembering the thorny crown), apples and evergreen.
It is planted prominently at the entrance of our flat. If we had a house, it would be in the open by the door until the end of easter. It shows that Christ is king in that home.
That is beautiful! Thanks for sharing :)
The palm here in Indoenesia is the full palm not just a single leaf. Each of us in the family bring one home and tuck the palms behind our crosses at our bedroom and take them out next year near to the church, to burn them for ash wednesday. I don’t think us Indonesians do it any other way, and thought all over the world have the same tradition, turns out even the palms given are different 😊
It's so interesting to read about all the traditions. It makes more sense to have a whole palm and not a single leaf- lol, we don't think the people in Jerusalem were all waving one skinny leaf when Jesus went by.... but that is how we do it here in the US.
I live in Colorado USA. We have to have palms shipped in and we each are handed only one leaf. How nice to have so many o fold and give out!
In Spain we receive olive branches, put it on our door & replace the branches next Palm Sunday. What do I do with the replaced olive branch.
I’m from Ecuador. In my country, palms are placed above the main door to remind people that our family belongs to Jesus. Palms are braided beautifully in Ecuador, making a beautiful decoration.
These traditions sound lovely!
I leave mine at the Church. ❤
In the Philippines, we place our blessed palms at the home altar or hang one at the main entrance of the house.
Thank you so much for those beutiful ideas! My question is about the palms I got on years before, I have accumulated lots of palms because I didn't know what to do with them. I take care they are not unproperly dispossed, but the day I had to move to a smaller place came; palms are dry now, kept in plastic bags ... Do you suggest any idea?
I prop a palm cross on a photo of my mother (deceased) and on the photo of my husband’s mother (also deceased) - they are renewed every Easter.
May they rest in peace
I weave mine in to a leaf and put it around the house.
Great tips. I have a question... can u burn the palms and spread ashes on the backyard for the grass to be blessed?
That is a good question to ask your priest :)
Aren’t the ashes from the burned palms still blessed…….since they can be used on Ash Wednesday??????????
Hello- from what we understand, if a blessed object is destroyed (as by burning) the blessing is lost, which is why the ashes for Ash Wednesday receive a new blessing.
In our family we would burn piece of palm when there were great winds or any risk of damage or danger of any harm. We gether together and pray an apostles creed an Our Father, and Hail Mary's asking God for protection. We were protected from many hailstorms, strong winds, tornados, etc, etc etc. Hallelujah
Last year, we had some very strong winds at the ranch. We looked for palm to burn but didnt have any there. This year, i assure you, we will have some, just in case any thing should require urgent prayer.
Stay safe!
Palms get done a certain way into crosses then on Palm Sunday blessed and we fetch it from the alter ...then you leave you cross at home in a spot where it's visible . It stays there till the next year where it gets burned and the ashes used for Ash Wednesday . This is the Catholic way ...
Not all the rickmaroll
“Bear your crosses patiently…”
Amen
I like to make mine into a cross and place it on my front door.
What happens to the ashes from the bonfire? I burn mine and have them in a container on my desk. My intention is to distribute around the house with a prayer. It's also my intent to use as protection on the automobile of those young drivers in my family. :)
Hello- it's our understanding that when a sacramental is destroyed (as in burning) the ashes that are left are not considered blessed. That is why if palms are burned for Ash Wednesday, those ashes have to be blessed by a priest. Hope that helps!
One more thing i forget my Grandmother would make small crosses and have them ready when ever there was a bad strom like toranados hurracains she would throw the palms out side when the strom would hit it's also a protectionmaybe from God not to land in your area just saying😇
