La Semana Santa
La Semana Santa, or Holy Week, is an important religious observance in many Spanish-speaking countries, particularly in Spain and Latin America. It commemorates the events leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Celebrations typically include processions, reenactments, and various rituals that reflect deep cultural and spiritual significance.
During La Semana Santa, cities and towns come alive with vibrant parades featuring elaborate floats and participants dressed in traditional robes. Each region has its own unique customs, such as the use of Nazarenos in Seville or the colorful carpets of flowers in Guatemala. These events attract both locals and tourists, fostering a sense of community and devotion.
