Easter Holidays

Easter is the Christian holy period that runs from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, from the point of view liturgical. This is the period of most intense activity within the Church, as the week in which it is a memorial of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In catalonia is tradition buying a Mona Easter, in some parts of Andalucia they make catwalks with the statues of Jesus Christ, in Uk, USA o other English cultures, some families participate only in the attendant revelry, central to which is (traditionally) decorating Easter Eggs on Saturday evening and hunting for them Sunday morning.
All these actions are dependent on each culture and represents this religious ceremony. In Andalucia is typically take off the religious statues out of the street and makes ceremonies at the cathedral.

All of that started in the week when Jesus Christ make his last dinner, went to pray in the mountains, the romans killed him and he returned to the heart, to show all the real power of God. Christianism is one of the most importants religions in the world, and their states make this holidays to respect the tradition and the prophet.

This holidays are perfect, because we can relax a week and forget all the stressful days. At first I'm going to pass a great time with my friends in the bar and later sleep 20 hours... mmmm relaaax...
