7. Extra blessed palms can be picked up after Mass. You may place a blessed palm behind a crucifix or sacred image in your home. If you have palms from last year, their disposal should be by burning or burying in the ground, but, please, not in the garbage. Like all blessed articles, the palms are a reminder of the central mystery of our faith--the death and resurrection of Jesus.
