Last year's palm crosses are recycled primarily for environmental reasons and to observe the Christian tradition of Ash Wednesday. The palms, which are blessed during Palm Sunday, are burned to create ashes used in the Ash Wednesday service, symbolizing repentance and mortality. Recycling them not only reduces waste but also maintains the continuity of religious practices. This act serves as a meaningful reminder of faith and renewal for the congregation.
