Philippines Burning Of Palm Fronds On Shrove Tuesday

Parishioners watch as Filipino priest Fr. Michael Creencia, SVD, leads the burning of old palm fronds at the Diocesan Shrine of Jesus the Divine Word in Quezon City, Philippines, on March 4, 2025, a day before Ash Wednesday. Shrove Tuesday derives from the English word ''shrive,'' meaning to obtain absolution of sins through confession and penance, as old palm fronds from previous Palm Sundays are burned to become ashes for Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the six-week Lenten season.
