Details
Palm Sunday is the day Jesus entered Jerusalem greeted by cheering crowds who waved palm fronds. People laid them on his path as this was the tradition of the time for showing respect and reverence for a great leader. Today, when celebrating Palm Sunday, many congregations pass out palm fronds to the worshipers as a reminder of this ancient tradition. Saint Patrick's Guild is proud to offer a unique way of celebrating the beginning of Holy week: African palm crosses. Hand-woven in by members of African villagers near Masasi, Tanzania, each traditional style cross is expertly woven out of genuine leaves of the dwarf African palm. African palm crosses measure approximately 8" high.
Not only are you buying beautiful African palm crosses, but we're excited to share that the proceeds from the cross sales go to an outreach ministry that provides grants to organizations who provide projects designed to benefit the Masasi area villages. Benefits to the communities include clean drinking water systems, education, medical and public health programs, agriculture ventures and disaster/refugee relief. The African palm crosses are only ordered by Saint Patrick's Guild specifically for Palm Sunday services. If you are interested in ordering African palm crosses for a liturgical celebration at another time of the year, please contact our customer service center at info@stpatricksguild.com or call us at: 1-800-652-9767.

African Palm Crosses
The Palm Crosses were perfect in serving my purpose. I'm the Director of Criminal Justice and I prayed that the prisons we serve has allowed us distribute them to our Catholic population for Palm Sunday. Their reception to the Crosses was well received.

African Palm Crosses bag/50
Beautiful crosses! I appreciate that they were made in Africa. I wish there were more in the bundle or that they were offered as “buy one bundle, get another half-priced”. I will certainly buy them again for Palm Sunday, 2024.
