Palm Sunday Church Flower Decor 2013

Okay, now that the Easter season has passed and we can take a bit breath, lets move on to the tutorials!!!

A few days ago, we just post on the mass, but now we'll take a closer look on the Holy Week flower decorations.

 Here's the Palm Sunday flower design on the altar, mostly we used kinds of palm leaves such as cycas, big cula palm lady palm or raphis exelsa and baloon flowers. And as focal point, we used woven palm leaves which made of yellow palm. We also have the tutorial.

Credits to the ladies from Margriet team who had done all these lovely flower arrangements for the Palm Sunday. Rome wasn't built in a day and so were these flower decorations,...very tiring.

Palm Sunday Mass at St. Peter Cathedral Bandung

Hi, guys…

We’re entering the Holy week starting with the Palm Sunday, the day when Catholics commemorate the misery of Jesus Christ. And as usual, we attended the mass at 10.45 a.m. that’s always ‘full’. 

Like the name, Palm Sunday is identical with palm leaves. The church was decorated with yellow palm, cycas, lady palm or raphis exelsa and some other kinds of palm leaves. We’ll post the church decoration in the separate post soon, and for those who would like to know how to make the altar and wall décor, we’ll also provide you with the tutorial. Please visit our new blog at flowerarrangingtutorial.blogspot.com

The St. Peter Cathedral church was full of youngster at Palm Sunday. No seat was left empty, even lots of people were standing at the back side during the mass lasted. The right wing of the church and the hall were also full. It’s good sign that the young generation beginning to concern the religion and their relation to Lord.

Palm Sunday Celebration

The lenten season had been away and now we’re entering the Holy week and the Palm Sunday is the first day of the Holy week. The Palm Sunday Celebration which Catholic celebrating today refers to the event of the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem where He was hailed by the great crowd with waving palm fronds. (John 12:12-15)

As the name, the Palm Sunday, then almost certainly we use various types of palm, whether as plants or just branches/fronds only. This time we use areca palm, raphis palm and cycas.

The altar seen from the left side. For background of the altar, palm trees with different height were placed as decorative element.
