What is semana santa, “holy week”

Holy Week is the annual Christian commemoration of the Passion of Christ, that is, the entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Stations of the Cross, the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. It begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Sunday.2 Although in various places the celebration usually begins on the Friday before, that is, on the Friday of Sorrows. The date of the celebration varies: between mid-March and April.

Fasting continues until the evening of Maundy Thursday, when the Easter Triduum begins: that same day the institution of the Eucharist is celebrated at the Last Supper; on Good Friday, the crucifixion and death of the Lord, and on the night of Holy Saturday, the Easter Vigil. During Holy Week, numerous examples of popular religiosity take place around the world, centering on processions, penances, and representations of the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
