Palm Everything

Today is Palm Sunday, and this morning, my parents brought young coconut leaves to church to have it blessed (a.k.a. sprinkled with holy water by the priest). Catholics to commemorate the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem. It is the first Sunday of Holy Week, and the Sunday before Easter.
Usually on this day, people get creative with the palm leaves. They transform leaves into various figures (ala origami for leaves).
Some commonly fabricated figures out of palm leaves are crucifixes, swords, and bouquettes. Some people even try to make a business out of it by selling their created palm leaf figures to church-goers who did not bring their own palm leaves. Fortunately, our house is surrounded by coconuts.
Anyway, after the palm leaves are blessed, it is customary for Catholics to place them on certain areas of the house. It is usually found on doors and altars.
That sorta reminds me that it is already Lent season, in which Catholics are supposed to fast, pray, and abstain.
Well, should I abstain from blogging this season???
