FÊTE DES RAMEAUX-DZAGHKAZART

This feast commemorating Jesus' entry into Jerusalem until his crucifixion is very important. It is also an occasion to celebrate springtime, an ancient custom of placing a tree decorated with candles and fruit in churches. In the absence of palm and olive trees, weeping willow branches are used as branches. It is traditional to decorate crucifixes with branches in homes or to place them on graves in cemeteries.
