little informal evenings and afternoons
The Sunday preceding Easter. has been
commernorated from an early period in
Ithehistory of the church, dating from
the last entry of Jesus into Jerusalem
when the people took branches Of balm
trees and went forth to meet Him
icrying, Hosannah. Throughout the
igreater part of Europe in defect of the
palm tree, some other tree, as box yew
or willow were blessed by the priests
after mass and distributed among the
people, who forthwith carried them in
| a joyous procession in memory OF the
Savior's triumphal entry into the holy
city, after which they were usually burnt
and the ashes laid aside to be sprinkled
on the heads of the congregations on
| the ensuing Ash Wednesday. So,
