Holy Week around the World
Christians around the world devoted themselves to ceremonies, parades and services during Holy Week. Catholic faithful touch an image of Jesus Christ during “Los Encadenados,” or “The Chained Ones” procession on Good Friday during Holy Week in Masatepe, Nicaragua. In Ecuador, hooded penitents, also known as ‘cucuruchos’ in Ecuador, walk during a Good Friday procession.
Holy Week in Christianity is the last week of Lent and the week before Easter. It includes the religious holidays of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, and lasts from Palm Sunday until, but not including, Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday is the first day of the new season of The Great Fifty Days. It commemorates the last week of the earthly life of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Canonical gospels.
