Why is Easter an important time in Spain?

In 2022, Easter Sunday falls on April 17^th but celebrations of the biggest religious festival of the year begin a week earlier.

Holy Week (Semana Santa) is the biggest religious celebration of the year in Spain, which means public holidays, a good deal of eating and drinking and lots of processions. Easter is a time for Spaniards to take to the streets and watch elaborate reenactments of the Passion, as well as enjoy some time off work in the company of their families and friends.

Elaborate processions take place throughout Holy Week. Associations known as cofradías or ‘brotherhoods’ (whose members take part in the processions) are a strong tradition in Spain, with many dating back to the Middle Ages.
Semana Santa processions are also known as ‘penance processions’ and involve members of the brotherhood (nazarenos) parading from their church, not forgetting the music that plays an important part in Semana Santa processions - most are accompanied by live marching bands that play religious music.
