La Semana Santa is one holiday during the year where in most Spanish-speaking countries entire towns, businesses, schools, and government close for at least four days, Thursday through Sunday.
People that have relocated to other places often go back to their hometowns. Others, take advantage of the long break to go to the countryside or beach.
Entire communities come together for Semana Santa celebrations. In some places, procesiones religiosas (religious processions) fill the calles (streets) each day of the week from Palm Sunday to Easter; in other words, Thursday and Friday are the most important days.
Most Semana Santa traditions are hundred of years old and originated in Spain, but many now have a unique twist due to the mix of cultures in each country.
