Patzcuaro, a Magical Village, is full of palm branches, which reminds of the people used them in Jerusalem to herald Jesus’ triumphal entry into the city, when they proclaimed him King.

Just outside the temples in Patzcuaro, we can admire how these branches are tied and woven into figures, such as Christ on the cross. This is an art form that has been handed down generation after generation. People take the figures into the various temples where they are blessed.
