Semana Santa (Holy Week)

Semana Santa, or Holy Week, is a significant religious observance in many Christian communities, especially in Spain and Latin America. It commemorates the Passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ through processions, religious services, and rituals held during the week leading up to Easter Sunday. Participants often dress in traditional robes and carry statues or icons representing scenes from the Passion. The events serve as a time of reflection, penance, and spiritual renewal, blending religious devotion with cultural traditions. Semana Santa is both a solemn and communal experience, showcasing rich history, artistry, and faith-driven devotion.
