Palm branches held aloft are the detail that sets this scene apart, and they point to Palm Sunday, the Christian feast that opens Holy Week and recalls the crowd greeting Jesus in Jerusalem. Gathered before a stone church doorway, the worshippers have brought the palms into the street, a practice that has long linked the church's liturgy with the everyday life of the parish. Pictures like this one show how the processional rite drew neighbors together outside the church walls. The blessed palms were often taken home afterward and kept as a sign of faith through the year.
