  2. La Semana Santa en España

  3. The Spanish word for 'Easter' is Pascua. The seven days leading up to Easter Sunday are called Holy Week, or La Semana Santa in Spanish. All over Spain, it is a week of spectacular street processions (procesiones).

  4. During La Semana Santa, starting on el Domingo de Ramos, Spanish towns have street parades every day.  In the processions, people carry and follow floats, known as pasos.  On the floats, there are statues of Jesús and La Virgen María.  The floats are beautifully decorated with flowers, gold, silver, candles and fine fabrics.

  5. Easter week in Spain is a time of serious processions and remembering the events leading up to and including the death of Jesus.  But, on Easter Day (El Domingo de Resurrección) it is a day of happiness and celebration because on this day the Resurrection of Jesus is remembered. In recent years the tradition of giving Easter Eggs has really taken off.

  6. The most exciting place to visit during La Semana Santa is probably the city of Sevilla in the south of Spain.  Its processions are the most impressive and famous, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors.  As a result, the city becomes overcrowded, but it is a very exciting and interesting time to be there! Let’s have a look at Seville last year
