Holy Week is the annual Christian commemoration of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. Therefore, it is a period of intense liturgical activity within the various Christian confessions. It begins with Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Sunday, 1 although its celebration usually begins in several places on the previous Friday (Friday of Dolores). The date of the celebration is variable (between March and April depending on the year) since it depends on the lunar calendar. Holy Week is preceded by Lent, which ends in the Week of Passion where the Eucharist is celebrated on Holy Thursday, the Crucifixion of Jesus is celebrated on Good Friday and the Resurrection at the Easter Vigil during the night of Holy Saturday to Sunday of Resurrection. During the Holy Week there are numerous samples of popular religiosity throughout the world, highlighting the processions and the representations of the Passion.
The most important days of Holy Week are Holy Thursday and Good Friday, which commemorates the death of Christ, in addition, Holy Saturday, with the Sepultura of Christ and Easter Sunday with the Resurrection.
