Holy Week, or 'Semana Santa' as it's known in Spanish, is one of the most observed traditions among Latino Catholics around the world and in the U.S. While many faithful are far from home and unable to participate in religious processions, they might choose to follow the dietary customs by abstaining from consuming red meat.
"Holy Week" is the Christian festival that commemorates the final moments of Jesus of Nazareth on Earth, known as the "Passion of Christ," which concludes with the Easter Resurrection.
