2,000 beautifully hand painted eggs were hanged on a feathered Paskris Tree set up at the lobby of Marco Polo Davao on Friday.
The Paskris Tree Ceremony was led by General Manager Dottie Wurgler-Cronin and was participated by the hotel’s heads of departments and associates.
Paskris Tree is a Swedish equivalent of Easter Palm. Palm twigs and leaves are not indigenous to Sweden so they use tree twigs to symbolize the palm leaves that Biblically were waved and placed on the ground for Jesus and his disciples to walk on at his glorious return to Jerusalem.
