The Palm Sunday is a christian feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter, and commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. In most liturgical churches it is celebrated by the blessing and distribution of palm branches or the branches of other native trees representing the palm branches the crowd scattered in front of Christ as he rode into Jerusalem. In Istria the traditional palm weaving become a popular festive decoration. Painting Easter eggs is also also a tradition spread in many European country and not only.
