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. ]]> 2018-03-23 00:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gabad/ubop9qoqo2ob/wish/245286397 Quito, Ecuador gabad https://padlet.com/gabad/ubop9qoqo2ob/wish/245296814 2018-03-23 01:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gabad/ubop9qoqo2ob/wish/245296814 History of Easter (video) gabad https://padlet.com/gabad/ubop9qoqo2ob/wish/245298595 2018-03-23 01:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gabad/ubop9qoqo2ob/wish/245298595 Remember to develop good writing skills by implementing the six traits of the writing model! gabad https://padlet.com/gabad/ubop9qoqo2ob/wish/245304862 What holidays do you celebrate with special parades or processions?
