How is Easter celebrated in Spain?

Answer 1

Spain is well-known for Holy Week ceremonies that are held between Palm Sunday and Good Friday. Parades include floats of Christ or the virgin Mary. Approximately 60 people hold each float on their shoulders. During the parades, matching hooded robes are worn.

Easter Week is called Semana Santa in Spain. The week begins on Domingo de Ramos (Palm Sunday) and ends with Lunes de Pascua (Easter Monday). On Domingo de Ramos, people attend mass in the morning. Children take palm branches to be blessed. Most churches have parades to represent Jesus arriving in Jerusalem.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and is the day ashes are placed on people's foreheads as a sign of repentance.

The Easter day feast is special. Godfathers present a cake known as "La Mona" to their godchild. The cakes can be normal round shaped or almost anything, such as Disney characters or toys. Also special is the torrijas, slices of warm bread soaked in milk, sugar and egg and fried in olive oil, served with syrup, honey, sugar, cinnamon and wine.
