A palm branch (or palm
frond or palm
stem), usually refers to the leaves of the
Arecaceae (sometimes known by the names Palmae).The palm
branch was a symbol of triumph and victory in pre-
Christian times. The
Romans rewarded champions of the games and celebrated military successes with palm branches. The motto of the
HMS Nelson and the
University of Southern California is "Palmam qui meruit ferat", which means in
Latin, "Let him bear the palm who has deserved it". Jews followed a similar tradition of carrying palm branches during festive times.
