Palmbuschen von der Goldhauben- und Kopftuchgruppe
Auch heuer werden die Goldhaubenfrauen Palmbuschen binden und diese am Fürstplatz am Freitag, 22. März 2024 ab 14.00 Uhr neben liebevoll verpackten Gugelhupfen anbieten.
Sieben Pflanzen braucht der Palmbuschen
Der Palmbuschen wird nach altem Brauch im Mühlviertel aus sieben Pflanzen gebunden. Jeder Zweig hat seine Bedeutung: Der Buchsbaum ist ein Symbol des Lebens; der Efeu ist Zeichen für die Ewigkeit; die Hasel ist Symbol der Weisheit und Fruchtbarkeit; die Lärche ist ein heiliger Baum, ein Schutzbaum; das Palmkätzchen ist Zeichen von Auferstehung und Neubeginn; der Wacholder (Segenbaum) ist der Baum des Lebens; das Eichenlaub steht für das Vergängliche. Bunte Bänder haben ebenfalls ihre Bedeutung.
Geweihte Palmbuschen bringen Schutz
Nach der Palmweihe am 24.4.2024 findet der Palmbuschen in Haus und Hof seinen Platz. Im Feld soll er die Ernte schützen, im Stall Krankheiten abwehren, unterm Dach vor Unwetter und Feuer bewahren. Teilweise wurden die Palmkätzchen gegessen oder an Tiere verfüttert, um vor Krankheiten zu schützen.
