In Oriental Orthodox churches, palm fronds are distributed at the front of the church at the sanctuary steps. In India the sanctuary itself is strewn with marigolds, and the congregation proceeds through and outside the church.
"The marigold was regarded as the flower of the dead in pre-Hispanic Mexico, parallel to the lily in Europe, and is still widely used in the Day of the Dead celebrations.[citation needed]
Another variety of marigold called pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) was historically used in ancient Greek, Roman, Middle Eastern and Indian cultures as a medicinal herb, as well as a dye for fabrics, foods and cosmetics. Many of these uses persist today. They are also used to make oil that protects the skin.[citation needed]
During the colonial period the native varieties of these flowers were replaced by American species like T. erecta, T. patula and T. tenuifolia. The marigold is also widely cultivated in India and Thailand, particularly the species T. erecta, Tagetes patula and T. tenuifolia. It is always sold in the markets for daily worship and rituals.
Vast quantities of marigolds are used in garlands and decoration for weddings, festivals, and religious events. Marigold cultivation is extensively seen in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh (for the Vijayadashami and Diwali markets[11]) states of India.
In Ukraine, chornobryvtsi (T. erecta, T. patula and the signet marigold, l. tenuifolia) are regarded as one of the national symbols, and are often mentioned in songs, poems and tales"

Exapostilarion / Hymn of Light
The wise thief
You made worthy
of Paradise
in a single moment, O Lord.
By the wood of the Cross
illumine me as well
and save me,
and save me."

We are living in Orthodox Christian Easter Week
And in Western Christianity, week after Easter
We are still living in Nisan, Passover, Pesach
We are still living in the month of Ramadan, until next new moon
How do we celebrate our Holy Days
celebrating
Resurrection
Freedom
Mercy
Communion with God and our fellow beings on Earth
While we are being killed?
No clean water, air
community love seems to be missing in some big ways
when we are literally, and slightly less literally
being beaten to death?
(just listing a few things here, the ways of violence are versatile)
We will celebrate every living cell
Every living friend
And all our friends in realms beyond Earth
Because we are versatile too
and belong to this Mystery of Life, Love and Light
