Obiceiul cu crengutele de salcii dateaza inca din secolul al IV-lea, atunci erau binecuvantate si date credinciosilor in memoria reamurilor de finic si de maslin cu care a fost intampinat Domnul. Astfel, noi le purtam astazi precum un simbol al victoriei importiva mortii pe care Iisus a castigat-o cu o zi inainte de Florii prin invierea lui Lazar, iar apoi chiar prin Invierea Sa.
Habit with willow twigs dates from the fourth century, when believers were blessed andgiven in memory of palm and olive reamurilor which was greeted Lord. Thus, we weartoday as a symbol of death important victories that Jesus won it the day before Palm Sunday through the resurrection of Lazarus, and then even by His Resurrection.
With much faith was celebrated this day in Romanian Countries and Kings were given litcandles and began evening services denial.
I remember this day for the rest of the dead;
Women cook in the oven and divide the wealth of poor alms;
Christians keep Lent on this day have to eat fish.
