My cousin Ann and I went to a "palm weaving festival" today out at St. Boniventure Church in Bloomington.

Most of the instructors were elderly nuns who are trying to keep this ancient art alive; when asked how to contact them with questions, one replied, "Just send me e-mail."
I found this picture on the Internet of the Sister spearheading this project with some examples:
