+## Front Matter Cascade
+
+Any node or section can pass down to descendents a set of Front Matter values as long as defined underneath the reserved `cascade` Front Matter key.
+
+### Example
+```yaml
+# content/blog/_index.md
+title: Blog
+cascade:
+  banner: images/typewriter.jpg
+```
+
+With the above example the Blog section page and its descendents will return `images/typewriter.jpg` when `.Params.banner` is invoked unless:
+
+- Said descendent has its own `banner` value set 
+- Or a closer ancestor node has its own `cascade.banner` value set.
