In any society that is not Christian - it is a Christian concept.
Answer:
The term "holy week" isn't in The Bible... yet, there are two annual "feasts" of God called "Sabbaths" or "High Day" Sabbaths, that He commands His people to observe, that are each of "seven-day" duration. One is the seven "Days of Unleavened Bread" that begin on the day AFTER THE PASSOVER:
"First comes the Lord's Passover... on its appointed day IN EARLY SPRING. THEN the day AFTER the Passover... the Festival of Unleavened Bread begins. This festival to the Lord continues for SEVEN DAYS, and during that time all the bread you eat must be made without yeast." (Lev.23:5-6 NLT New Living Translation)
The second commanded seven-day feast of God comes in the FALL; called "The Feast of Tabernacles."
"Tell the Israelites to begin the Festival of Shelters on the fifth day after the Day of Atonement. This festival to the Lord will last for SEVEN DAYS." (verse 34)
The two annual feasts to the Lord [Jesus Christ, the Creator God of the Old Testament - see John 1:3] seldom, if ever, fall within the confines of a standard seven-day week. But are simply seven-day observances that usually stretch between two normal weeks.
And in any event... neither of these seven-day feasts of Christ that are commanded in the Bible forever, are observed by modern professing Christianity.
The "holy week"that's familiar to somany modern professing Christian denominations, and that's not found in the Bible;precedes instead the "holiday" that they observe, which they call "Easter" Sunday... another "holiday" not commanded or found in the Bible.
Not all denominations of modern professing Christianity observe "holy week"... so it's kind of globally "hit-or-miss" as to who does or does not celebrate it.
