Spain’s ‘fervent’ commemoration of the death and crucifixion of Jesus Christ is back in full swing post-pandemic
Celebrated through religious processions and festivities leading up to Easter Sunday, Semana Santa, the holiest week in the Spanish calendar, has begun.
This week-long honouring of Jesus is “the most important religious celebration in Spain”, said Lonely Planet, and it will be more “fervent than ever in 2023” after the global Covid-19 pandemic saw events curtailed for the past three years.
