The Palm Lady: South Philadelphia woman continues family tradition of weaving palms for Lent

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- With Palm Sunday just days away, we are introducing you to a South Philadelphia woman who has become known as "The Palm Lady."

Victoria Ciliberti does her all to carry on her family's tradition of weaving palms for churches.
