PRIMERO DE ABRIL- Welcome back! Hope you all had a great week off and a Happy Easter.
La Semana Santa or Easter and the Holy Week: Observed in Spain, Mexico and all of Latin America. Easter is one of the highest holy days of the year. The week leading up to Easter involves solemn processions, prayer, masses and other preparation for Jesus’ rebirth. Customs in the United States include Mexicans’ cascarones, the Mexican version of an Easter egg or eggshells, filled with confetti. They are meant to be cracked on someone’s head as a funny surprise. Go to the following website and view the three videos on celebrating Easter in the Spanish speaking world.
