        <title>Where do the palms come from? - Faith Forum - faithforum&apos;s Blog - Bakersfield.com</title>

        <description>We&#039;re planning a story on Palm Sunday, and where the palms for this service come from. What&#039;s your church&#039;s tradition? 

I remember as a child watching adults trim the palm branches from the trees on the grounds of my church in San Diego. It was fascinating to watch. While we&#039;d be out playing on the blacktop (there was no playground, this was a pretty poor Catholic school) a group of very dedicated parishoners would climb the massive palms and prepare the fronds for Mass. 

The church made do with the resources that were right there on the grounds. But not every church has palms growing on its grounds. Where does your church get its palms?
