Palm Sunday Was a Pride Parade

A reflection by K Kriesel, shared with their permission.

Rev. Winnie Varghese preached on Palm Sunday a decade ago "When there was a parade [in Jesus's time], it was Rome coming in to show them they were conquered, that their God had been humiliated, that they would never be free. And Jesus comes in looking like David... This is not a bunch of people thinking resurrection comes at the end of this week."

Each Palm Sunday we celebrate the Lenten Pride parade - the one without corporate sponsorship. While everyone lays palms down, they form a can-can line and sing "Hosanna to the son of David! We are the Stonewall girls! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We wear our hair in curls! Hosanna in the highest!"

Irreverence in the face of somber Empire. A parade that says "you might extract taxes from us but you don't own us. You might put your soldiers on this land but it's not your land." After all, a “Lord” owns land/labor so those who laid down palms were very clear about who they were celebrating, and it wasn’t the Roman Empire.

Within Holy Week we have a sharp pivot from celebratory procession to an unjust execution. This clash in tone is not unlike switching from June 30 to July 1, when the thirteen colonies replace the rainbow; Empire doesn’t care who you celebrate, it exerts power. The wheel of Empire crushed Jesus’ followers just days after they celebrated His arrival, and it continues to crush us.

We need the camp of Palm Sunday, to lay down bedazzled palms and sequins-covered cloaks. When church/state pass laws to restrict us & to protect those who harm us, irreverence shows we won’t be touched at our core. Don your septum piercing and laugh in the face of fear!

In John’s gospel there were 2 angels inside the tomb, they were Trixie Mattel & Katya Zamolodchikova and the sound of the stone being rolled away was UNHhhh. When Mary Magdalene tried to embrace the risen Christ, Jesus saith unto her “touch me not, for my nails are not yet dry.” 💅🏻

Oh, clouds of time

Seem to rain on innocence left behind

Episode 65 of Blessed Are the Binary Breakers is up! Listen wherever you get podcasts, or click here for places to listen + the episode transcript.

K Kriesel (they/them or she/her) is not afraid of "messy," with a spiritual life that blends Catholicism and Wicca, and holds space for time adrift.

K has broken away from a variety of groups that proved too limiting to uplift the most marginalized, including any feminism that prioritizes white, cis women. As they search for a spiritual community built with people like them in mind, K serves as a chaplain and creates the kind of queer Catholic art they want to see in the world. You can contact K and view their work at kkriesel.com or @kkrieselart on Instagram or Facebook.

ID is under the alt text, along with more episode quotes and more of K’s art!

[Image ID: all images are squares with a blue fabric background. The first includes a photo of a white person with glasses wearing a green fabric witch’s hat and red or burgundy robes. They hold a statue of a gold-robed Mary whose body turns into a serpent’s tail below the knees. Text reads, “Embracing ‘Messy’ with K Kriesel: Chaplain & Textile Artist. Listen on Blessed Are the Binary Breakers, a multifaith podcast of trans stories.” The next image features a quote from K reading, “I’ve created a lot of queer Catholic artwork because I want it to be in the world, and the best way to do that is just make it.” Photos show a statue of an armored angel with trans flag colored wings and two statues of Jesus with rainbow-colored and trans flagged colored butterfly wings. / end ID]

ID: Photo of a statue of “the Mother,” with coper face and extended hands outside of robes. A quote from K reads, "[In 2009,] I was taking a break from religion and spirituality altogether. I had really wanted my local Wiccan communities to be social justice minded, and they weren't. So I just took a break for a few years. And I was really questioning my gender and I was experimenting a lot, while I was thinking about returning to...spiritual spaces, spiritual study.And it was all messy. The gender was all messy, the spirituality was all messy — and I loved it." / end ID

ID: photo of textile art featuring two embroidered, long-haired figures wearing crowns and holding chalices while embracing one another and gazing fondly into each other’s eyes. A quote from K reads, “As soon as I stopped working for the Roman Catholic Church, I jumped out of the closet. ...And uh, that's actually caused me to break away from spiritual community altogether. Nobody's told me to leave; nobody's been rude — at least not intentionally. It's more...I don't want to diversify. I don't want to be the 'Ladies and gentlemen — and K.' I'm seeking a spiritual community that has been structurally non-gendered from the get-go. And I don't know if that exists." / end ID

ID: Ten statues of Mary draped in various fabric robes, with a quote from K reading, "Whenever I feel the need to have maternal love, I turn to Mother Mary, because she's provided it more than my human mother has. So Marian imagery is a major theme [in my art], because creating art...is a prayer technique for me." / end ID
