La Semana Santa, or Holy Week, originated in the early Christian tradition as a time to commemorate the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Its roots can be traced back to the 4th century when Christians began observing a week of reflection and mourning leading up to Easter. Over time, various rituals, processions, and traditions developed, particularly in countries with strong Catholic influences, such as Spain and Latin America, where it has become a major cultural and religious celebration. Today, it is marked by elaborate processions, reenactments, and community gatherings.
