Eaters in Mexico are always crowded with an official holiday of two-weeks including Semana Santa (The Holy Week, beginning from Palm Sunday and ending on Easter Saturday) and Pascua (Starting from Easter Sunday and ending the following Saturday) for the followers to enjoy the feast in full.
Semana Santa is one of the holidays that is highly regarded due to its importance within the traditional Mexican ethos with educational institutes and trade being completely shuttered down on the course of occasion during those two weeks. Many Mexican families often find this event as an opportunity to plan their outdoor or a week’s visit at their relative’s place during Semana Santa and Pascua.
Christians at each year, celebrate it in preserving the memory of Jesus Christ, in the aspect of burial, crucifixion and rebirth. The Celebration continues for two weeks in Mexico, including the Semana Santa (The Holy Week) and Pascua that is the Resurrection Sunday until the following Saturday. For the Mexicans of Puerto Vallarta, every spring brings a season of high festivity and celebrations for the people around the world to rejoice Easter with much enthusiastic level of processions, ceremonies, and rituals with dramatic reenactment of the capture, the trial, and the crucifixion, in the memory of Jesus Christ.
Celebrations forms an integral part of the Mexican heritage with Easter being the most artistic and cultural event even for the minorities and non-Catholics with opposing beliefs to unit under one roof. Different regions of Mexico are popular for displaying traditional customs during Semana Santa such as holy role plays, solemn processions, acts of physical torture, public live performance of political and social happenings and displays of biblical scenes and other festivities to engage the audience such as prehispanic dances and fireworks by kids.
In some of the more devoted regions of Mexico like Taxco, more rigorous reenactments are common including the penitentes- an act in which both men and women express their repentance and justify their love and faith towards Jesus Christ by actually whipping themselves physically or carrying large religious objects at their back to inflict pain
Easter week usually starts on Palm Sunday (March 25), a day where all the churches located citywide unite together to celebrate the blessings secreted by the palm fronds in observance of Maundy Thursday. Locals wear all-night watches in accordance with Maundy Thursday.
Following good Friday, the city and beach streets are made crowded with pre-planned events like reggae festival, hot air balloon occasions and so on while, Sundays are a bit calm and steady with visitors won’t searching or any Easter bunnies or egg hunts. Afternoons are peaceful with a morning attendee at masses to enjoy the best Mexico vacation spots.
