[Leica] Still enjoying the Summitar

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Hi Luis,

Now I understand. We would buy the palm leaves and after Palm Sunday  
we would take some of the palms and intertwine them together so we  
had a string of little boxes. I believe one of the plastic bags  
showed a string of the braided leaves. The Palm Sunday custom is  
probably the same the world over, at least in the RC Faith. Both my  
ancestors and my wife's ancestors were from Europe so I guess they  
brought most of the customs with them.

Best Regards,
Len
