Especially in southern Germany and Austria, 'Palm Bouquets' are one of Easter's traditions. Their origins are in the 10th century and, as Sunday will be Palm Sunday, in many homes both today and tomorrow will be taken up with making the annual Palmbuschen.

Palmbuschen - The tradition, rituals..... and a 'How To'.
