  They're not Arts and Crafts, they're common in Catholic and Anglican traditions (maybe others?) - they're part of the Palm Sunday tradition. They're taken home by parishoners, who return them to the church a year later for Ash Wednesday, when they are burned and used to make the ash signs you see on people's foreheads on that day :)

  My church (Presbyterian) does make palm crosses, however we don't do the burning bit.

  Most churches still make them, but very few still burn them, due to fire hazards.
