THE HOLY WEEK
Holy Week, known as Semana Mayor, is a period of eight days that begins with
Palm Sunday and ends with Easter Sunday.With Holy Week, the Christian
commemorates the Easter Triduum, that is, the moments of the Passion, Death
and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Holy Week is preceded by Lent, which remembers the 40-day preparation time
that Jesus Christ spent in the desert. The central celebrations of Holy Week are
Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. Holy Week is a
time to dedicate oneself to prayer and reflect on Jesus Christ and the moments
of the Easter Triduum, since Jesus, with his infinite mercy, decides to take the
place of men and receive punishment to free humanity from sin. In addition,
Holy Week is the ideal time for human beings to meditate on their actions and
the changes they must make to get closer to God and comply with his
commandments. During Holy Week, the Catholic performs various acts, such as
processions, the staging of the drama of the death and passion of Christ,
among others. The penitents are subjected to heavy burdens as a symbol of
their self-sacrifice and, on Good Friday, the faithful must fast and abstain from
eating meat.
