“Paskris Tree is the Swedish term for Easter tree where in the bedazzled twigs represent the palm leaves that were placed on the ground for Jesus’ donkey to walk on in his triumphant return to Jerusalem. Palm trees are not native to Sweden, so this was the best they could do to imitate their more equatorial neighbors”, explains General Manager Dottie Wurgler-Cronin during the ceremony.

“We encouraged everyone in our team to take part in this artful charitable event as part of our commitment to give back to our local community”, GM Dottie adds.

Around 2,000 eggs shells were hand painted and designed by the hotel associates and their families. Each egg corresponds to a certain cash donation to a chosen charity which is the Missionaries of Charity. The Paskris tree is found at the lobby of the hotel which is located in the heart of the city. You can give your cash donations to the front desk of the hotel. They accept any amount as every peso counts. The donation will be turned over to the chosen charity after Easter Sunday. Encourage your kids to share and donate to the charity through the Paskris Tree.
