枝条特别象征着胜利和凯旋。 对基督徒来说，它指的是虔诚或战胜罪恶，而对犹太人来说，它是和平和丰收的象征之一。
月桂枝
根据希腊罗马神话，阿波罗--强大的太阳神，奥林匹亚十二神之一，宙斯的儿子--是从棕榈树上生出来的。 此外，他还戴着月桂花环，因为他爱上的达芙妮为了躲避他，变成了一棵月桂树。 因此，树枝--以及月桂花环--常常被作为对军事人员和运动员的奖励。
橄榄枝
根据圣经，为了最终确定洪水的结束，一只鸽子给诺亚带来了橄榄枝：
" 傍晚时分，鸽子回到他那里，看哪，有一片橄榄叶子摘在她的嘴里，挪亚就知道水已经从地上退去了。 "（创世纪8:11）。
由于这一事件，基督徒将战胜罪恶的含义赋予了这个分支。
另见鸽子的象征意义。

在天主教中，棕枝主日是复活节前的周日，也是圣周的开始。 在这一天，信徒们带着树枝去教堂，纪念耶稣凯旋进入耶路撒冷。
