Holy week or Easter


Easter is the Christian annual commemoration of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. Therefore, it is a period of intense activity within the various liturgical Christian denominations. Begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Sunday, but his celebration usually starts in several places last Friday (Viernes de Dolores) and is considered part of the same Resurrection Sunday.

The date of the celebration varies (between March and April depending on the year). Easter is preceded by Lent, which ends in the Passion Week where we celebrate the Eucharist on Holy Thursday, commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Holy Friday and the Resurrection during the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night to Sunday Easter.

During Easter occur numerous samples of popular religion throughout the world, highlighting the processions and representations of the Passion. The holiday cycle that corresponds to Easter in other countries, like the United States of America, is known as "Spring Break".
