The palm frond was a symbol of resistance to Roman rule and a memoriam to the violent Maccabees rebellion 200 years before Christ. Then, oak fronds were waved at the celebration.
In Roman-ruled territories (Judea), false "messiahs' and seditionists were sentenced to crucifixion as a threat to Rome.
