Out family is Catholic and I don’t know if any connection between bathrobes and Palm Sunday. We went to Palm Sunday service at a Catholic university a few days ago and I didn’t see any bathrobes on campus at all. So, unless it’s a Protestant thing, I don’t think there is a Christian connection.
My guess it’s just a step up from pajamas. Although I haven’t seen any on the campuses in our town in Wisconsin or northern Indiana. Maybe it’s just a southern thing for now. We are heading to northern Michigan this weekend. If I see any on the campus there, I’ll report back.
