As it is a religious celebration (the week before Easter), it includes masses held in many churches. Of special interest is Good Friday, as the Catholic Church celebrates the passion of Jesus. Many solemn celebrations take place in all churches, together with processions in different villages all across Mexico. The most important however, is the one held int the Iztapalapa borough in Mexico City, where one to two million people go there to see the procession.
