Students and teachers watched from the church steps as palm fronds were burned to create ashes for Ash Wednesday at St. Norbert and Our Lady of the Brook Catholic Church in Northbrook Tuesday.
Palm fronds taken home by parishioners after last year's Palm Sunday masses at St. Norbert and Our Lady of the Brook Catholic Church in Northbrook were burned Tuesday to create ashes used to bless the faithful on Ash Wednesday.
Students and teachers from the parish school watched from the church steps as the palms were set ablaze in a metal portable fire pit by a church employee. The Rev. Christopher Gustafson, pastor of St. Norbert and Our Lady of the Brook, said the palms were used during last year's Palm Sunday mass to honor Jesus' arrival into Jerusalem before his Passion.
