I've read that and read the counterargument that the very fact palm fronds were scarce in the Spring is what made them such a special symbol of recognition.
I figure it's been in the Spring ever since it was first celebrated and given the number of intervening years and the fact that I'm not trying to make a buck or get my PhD by upsetting some applecart, Spring is good enough for me.
Well, one of these days I’m going to Israel, God willing, and I’ll find out about those palm fronds for myself.
All Good through The One God....
