Easter in Mexico

Because the vast majority of Mexicans are Roman Catholic, the Easter season is the most widely- celebrated holiday of the year.

Carnaval The day before Ash Wednesday is known as Carnaval. It is a day of indulging and celebrating prior to the beginning of Lent.

Ash Wednesday/ Miércoles de Ceniza Ash Wednesday, or Miércoles de Ceniza is the official start of Lent. Lent, or Cuaresma lasts 40 days (not counting Sundays) until Easter Sunday.

Mexicans receive ashes on their foreheads to remind them that they are mortal and to live a Christian life.

The season of Lent The season of Lent is a time of reflection, sacrifice, and prayer. It is a stark contrast to the tone of Carnaval.

La Semana Santa/ Holy week The week prior to Easter Sunday is Holy Week. There are different events and ceremonies throughout the week.

Most Mexicans are given time off to take part in the ceremonies and observances of this week. Most children do not have school.

Domingo de Ramos / Palm Sunday Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, is the start of the Holy Week celebration in Mexico.

The palms and other items are blessed in a special ceremony in a church. A procession follows that represents Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem.

VESPERS OF DARKNESS The Wednesday of Holy Week is known as The Vespers of Darkness. Candles on a candelabra are lit and extinguished one by one to represent the disciple’s desertion of Jesus.

Jueves Santo/ Holy Thursday The Thursday prior to Easter is a day of prayer and attending mass. Some churches reenact the Last Supper.

Viernes Santo/Good Friday The Friday prior to Easter is the day that Jesus died on the cross. Actors re-create this event in each city.

Sábado Santo/ Holy Saturday An evening mass takes place with solemn prayer. After the mass, paper-maché effigies representing evil are destroyed by fire to symbolize the triumph of good vs. evil. Firework displays are common.

Domingo de Gloria/ Easter Sunday After attending mass on Easter Sunday or La Pascua, people pour into streets to celebrate in the town centers to celebrate. Vendors sell food and other items.

Cascarones/ Easter eggs
