Palm trees have been packed with symbolism throughout history, making them more than just beautiful beach icons! Ancient Egyptians saw palm branches as a sign of immortality. The Romans waved them to celebrate victory. In Christianity, palms mark Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem and are still used on Palm Sunday. During the Jewish festival of Sukkot, date palm fronds play a special role. For Muslims, palm branches can signify peace. And today, you can spot palm trees on the flags of places like Haiti, Guam, Florida, South Carolina, and Saudi Arabia. Who knew these leafy giants had such a storied past?
