Traditions are funny things,
because you never know which ones are going to stick.
When our family started celebrating Holy Week five years ago,
we didn't have any palm fronds to wave,
so we used big kale leaves from my garden
to act out Jesus's Triumphal Entry.
The "donkey" had a grand time eating the "palm fronds" . . .
. . . and ever since then, the kids have always asked me to buy (or grow) kale for Palm Sunday . . .
. . . so the donkeys can have a snack.
I never would have imagined that this annual kale-munching
would become such a beloved family tradition.
Welcome to Holy Week!
