Palm Sunday, DH and I went over to Gangi to see the processions ... we really enjoyed it. Each of the churches in Gangi ( and there are somewhere around 14 or 16 churches in a town that has less than 8000 residents) had a decorated palm standard in the procession accompanied by worshipers from its congregation. Each standard included emblems associated with that specific church - so a knowledgeable onlooker could determine which church was associated with each standard.
Went along with tradition - bought a palm weaving from one of the vendors and had it blessed at the main cathedral... we have it displayed on the door to our living room.
Nice little blog you have here!
