IN THE EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCH, WILLOWS ARE HANDED OUT ON PALM
SUNDAY (JULIAN CALENDER) INSTEAD OF PALMS.
Submitter comment:
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS FOR SURE HOW THIS CUSTOM ORIGINATED OR WHY.
I RECALL HEARING A STORY HOWEVER, THAT SAID THE REASON WE USE
WILLOWS IS BECAUSE WILLOWS WERE LAID AT CHRIST'S FEET WHEN HE
ENTERED JERUSALEM. BOTH PUSSY WILLOWS AND WILLOWS ARE USED.

AFTER THE PUSSY WILLOWS WERE BLESSED AT CHURCH THEY WOULD BE TAKEN
HOME BY EACH FAMILY. IN THE HOME THEY WERE PLACED ABOVE A HOLY

WERE USED BECAUSE PALMS WERE COSTLY.
