For the Catholic world, Easter is more than having a long weekend, traveling or partying, taking
advantage of the holidays for this religious celebration.
"Holy Week" is one of the most important dates, because it commemorates the Passion, Death
and Resurrection of Jesus.
During this celebration various activities are carried out that begin with the "Palm Sunday", which
commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, where he is received with palm leaves
and olive branches.
Later, "Holy Thursday" is celebrated, which is the first day of the Easter Triduum (the three days of
this commemoration). Here the Last Supper of Jesus is remembered before being crucified, in
which he presents the Eucharist, materialized as bread and wine.
On "Good Friday" the Crucifixion of Jesus is remembered as one of the most relevant days of
recollection of Holy Week, while on "Holy Saturday" Jesus was crucified, died and buried and is on
the eve of his resurrection.
"Resurrection Sunday" is the day when Jesus Christ rises after the crucifixion, goes to meet his
apostles and then climbs into the heavens.
Para el mundo católico, Semana Santa es más que tener un fin de semana larga,
viajar o irse de fiesta, aprovechando los días feriados por esta celebración religiosa.
"Semana Santa" es una de las fechas más importantes, debido que se conmemora
la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Jesús.
Durante esta celebración se realizan diversas actividades las que comienzan con el "Domingo
de Ramos", que conmemora la entrada triunfal de Jesús a Jerusalén, donde es recibido con
hojas de palma y ramas de olivo.
Posteriormente se celebra "Jueves Santo", que es el primer día del Triduo Pascual (los tres
días de esta conmemoración). Acá se recuerda la Última Cena de Jesús antes de ser
crucificado, en la cual presenta la Eucaristía, materializada como el pan y el vino.
