馃挏
馃挏 Holly week is a special time we have as Catholic people in Guatemala to commemorate Jesus's death and passion but mainly to reinforce our faith in his resurrection. Most of us used to go to processions, do carpets, have special meals, such as torrejas, bu帽uelos, etc., gather with family members, go on family trips, etc.
The Pandemic has changed some of our customs and traditions in this memorable period, but still, we continue having that special feeling and willing to live it as best as we can.
Personally, I used to see all the processions on Good Friday with my family and we used to return at 2:00 a.m., also, we used to do a very large carpet in front of our house on Holy Saturday to receive Resurrected Jesus' procession.
Now, I would like to know about you, what you used to do for Holy Week?
