Symbolizing the palm branches of Palm Sunday, these decorative fronds are a traditional Easter decoration in Poland and Lithuania. After being blessed in church, these folk art palms would be set into Easter baskets or displayed on the dinner table; later, the palms could be tucked into the frame of a religious picture or planted in the family garden to bless the ground and ensure a good growing season. Folk art Easter palms are made by hand in Poland of dried flowers and colorful dyed grasses.
