What happens during semana santa

Semana Santa, or Holy Week, is a significant religious celebration in many Spanish-speaking countries, marking the final week of Lent leading up to Easter Sunday.

Rooted in Christian traditions, it commemorates the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

As we begin the week after Palm Sunday, various events are celebrated in anticipation of Easter Sunday. Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

Later in the week, Maundy Thursday recalls the Last Supper, Judas’s betrayal, and the institution of the Eucharist.
