Palm Crosses

Palm Sunday is 29th March 2026

Prepare for Palm Sunday (29th March 2026) with our authentic African Palm Crosses, hand-folded by the Masasi villagers of Tanzania. Available in bulk packs of 50 to 500, these traditional crosses are made from natural, dried dwarf palm (Hyphaena coriacia) which grows wild in the Masasi area. Order by 7:30pm for same-day dispatch and fast UK delivery

The Meaning and Tradition of the Palm Cross

The palm cross meaning is rooted in the biblical account of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where crowds waved palm branches as a symbol of victory and peace. Today, the Palm Sunday cross remains a vital part of the liturgy, serving as a tangible reminder of the beginning of Holy Week.

At Eden, we specialize in African Palm Crosses sourced directly from the Masasi district of Southern Tanzania. These are not merely church supplies; they are instruments of community development. Each cross is hand-folded from a single strand of dried dwarf palm leaf by the men, women, and children of the village. This initiative provides a life-giving income that funds local health clinics, water resources, and education.

Choosing and Storing Your Palm Sunday Crosses

We provide bulk palm crosses in various pack sizes to suit every congregation:

  • Small Packs (25-50): Perfect for Sunday schools or house churches.
  • Standard Packs (100-200): Our most popular choice for parish services.
  • Large Bulk Packs (500+): The best value for cathedrals, large schools, and diocesan events.

Storage Tip: To keep your small palm crosses looking their best for Palm Sunday (29th March 2026), store them in a cool, dry, and dark environment. Avoid direct sunlight or high humidity, which can cause the natural fibers of the dried palm to become brittle.
