Easter Holidays in Espejon


I’m going to explain the main traditional Easter holiday events that take place in my village Espejon, they are religious events:

The first Sunday, people go to the church to take a holy branch and to hear mass. They make a procession too.

On Ash Wednesday, people go to church to tell the priest their sins, and to be free of them during the rest of religious eastern events.

On Easter Thursday, all the children go to church in the afternoon and the priest replays the act of

the Last Upper, and cleans their feet.

On Good Friday, in the afternoon 12 men act out the story of the 12 apostles when Christ is going to be crucified, and later the women sing some songs in church.

On Easter Sunday everyone goes to hear mass, and take part in the procession because it is the most significant day, when Christ resuscitated and they pay some money to take off the black dress of the Virgen. A great silence falls.
