In the West the palm means holidays – in Christianity, by contrast, the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, hence Palm Sunday; in regions without palms, willow catkins stand in. In Judaism the palm frond lulav belongs to Sukkot.

In antiquity the palm branch was the sign of victory: winning athletes and Roman generals received one – hence the English phrase to carry off the palm.
