TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La liturgia oficial de la Iglesia para el Domingo de Ramos es algo paradójica. Entramos proclamando Hosannas con cantos y vito-reas y al poco empo estamos gritando: “¡cruci calo, cruci ca-lo!” Según el rito la lectura del Evangelio y la consagración de la Eucaris a se hacen dentro del templo, pero se comienza afuera del templo con la bendición de los ramos. En los Estados Unidos y otros países la noamericanos se usan palmas en lugar de ramos. En Europa, normalmente, se usan ramos de olivos. Úl mamente en Colombia para proteger la pal-ma de cera del Quindío, se les ha pedido a los fieles que usen ramitas de plantas o ramos de flores. Estoy de acuerdo hay que proteger el ambiente, pero admito que prefiero las palmas, ya que es di cil poner un ramo de olivo o de flores detrás de una imagen sagrada colgada en la pared. Esta es una costumbre la -na que nos recuerda que los “hosannas” y el “cruci calo” del domingo de ramos nos acompañan todos los días del año.
