Hello people!
Today I will talk about one traditional festival.
Easter, also called Pascha or holy week, is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after his crusifixion some time in the period of romans. Many non-religious cultural elements have become part of the holiday, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike.
Here in Catalonia the easter stars on Sunday " de rams" and finishes on Sunday "de pasqua". To start the festival there is a mass and then the childrens buys a "mona de pasqua" in the cake shop or te confectioner's.
In all Romance lenguages the name of the Easter festival is derived from the Greek name, Pascha which is itself derived from Pesach, the Hebrew festival of Passover.
