Easter Palms

Warsaw, Poland

On this outdoor mini market people can buy traditional Easter palms.
The palms are inseparable part of Polish culture and tradition during Easter time.
They are made using traditional materials such as: desiccated flowers, grass, corns and herbs. Those on the photo are from the Lublin region.
These substitutes were used in place of real subtropical palms, which were never easy to obtain in Poland.
