The Palm Cross

Yesterday was Palm Sunday. In our Services, we gave everyone a small cross made from a palm leaf. These crosses have no intrinsic worth. They are, after all, just a dried up leaf. But what they symbolise, and the challenge they hold before us, is significant.

“A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road” (Matthew 21:8). The image of Jesus and his followers approaching Jerusalem with crowds lining the streets, shouting and waving palm branches and throwing their cloaks on the road got me thinking about modern day parades.
