i do believe that the palms that are burned are the palms that we use from easter..but im not sure
Reply:the ashes come from burning the palm branches used in the past palm sunday, the sunday before the last easter, almost a year ago, so for example the ashes used at this wednesday's service feb, 21st, 2007, are actually the burnt palm branches from palm sunday of 2006, and i don't know the exact date, but i think sometime in april, of 2006, anyway it was the sunday before easter sunday in 2006
