Semana santa is, along with the Christmas season, the most important Catholic holiday in Mexico. Throughout the country there are solemn but colorful parades, Mass, and often fireworks. Especially well-known for their elaborate or unusual ceremonies the week preceding Easter (especially Thursday, Friday and Saturday) are Oaxaca, Oaxaca; Taxco, Guerrero; San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato; and San Luis Potosi, SLP, but there are elaborate processions and other events in myriad cities and towns all over the country. Easter Sunday itself there are few if any activities, it’s a day to spend in church and with family and friends.
Semana Santa is also a time when half of Mexico flocks to the beaches---a Mexican spring break. Be sure if you want to travel during this time of year to make hotel reservations as far in advance as possible.
considered that this HOLIDAY HAS CHANGED DURING THE TIME OF BEING RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS FESTIVALS HAVE BECOME THE RELIGION HAS BEEN IN BACKGROUND AND HAS BECOME A HOLIDAY DATES AND TOURIST TRADE

So I LOVE Semana Santa :)
Many "Hermosillenses" have forgotten that Semana Santa is a Catholic holiday and It has turned a party weekend. All these days are all about get drunk, get high and have bad behavior.
ResponderEliminarHello!
ResponderEliminarI like the holidays of Semana Santa, the truth of the dances, and processions that take place in my hometown, family gatherings.
Semana Santa is coming, very good holiday!
It is an important date in the church, but over time has been lost that importance and habits you have. Today people only focus on the question of going out and walk through the different tourist places of the country, thus ignoring the usual.
