Palms Celebrate Christ’s Victory Over Death
Fr Michael Rasicci’s homily for Palm Sunday, 04/02/2023, Calvary Episcopal Church, Batavia, IL.
In the times of Christ, palms were a symbol of victory–Generals received a palm when they won an important battle, athletes were awarded palms instead of trophies. For Christians, the palm signifies Christ’s victory over death.
