Before You Crack Into the Candy…

Have you ever wondered how to say Easter or Holy Week in Spanish?

Hold up—just as you’re about to dive into those marshmallow chicks or head off on your next egg hunt, let’s take a moment to explore what la Pascua means beyond the baskets and bunnies.

First things first:

🐣 Pascua = Easter
✝️ Semana Santa = Holy Week

La Semana Santa Isn’t Just a Weekend!

In Latin America and Spain, la Semana Santa isn’t just a weekend—it’s a week-long experience packed with tradition, reflection, and centuries-old rituals. Think: candlelit processions, twelve-dish meals, sacred music, and recipes passed down from abuelitas. Every bite, every song, and every step in the street tells a story.

So grab your curiosity (and maybe a pastel-colored snack) because we’re about to take a flavorful detour into the Easter traditions that bring cultures together across generations and continents.

🐣 ¿Qué es la Pascua?

While we’re hopping into Spanish with Easter vibes, let’s talk about la Pascua itself. In Spanish-speaking countries, la Pascua usually refers to Easter Sunday (Pascua de Resurrección), a major Christian celebration of renewal and life. In places like Spain, Mexico, and Peru, the week before—la Semana Santa—is filled with beautiful processions, traditional food, and family gatherings.

Fun fact: In Spanish, Pascua isn’t just Easter. It also refers to Pascua de Navidad (Christmas!) and Pascua de Pentecostés (Pentecost), all tied to religious moments of joy and rebirth. So when we say “Happy Pascua,” it’s bigger than bunnies—it’s history, language, and culture wrapped in one word.

🐣 So… Where Does “Pascua” Even Come From?

Glad you asked. Pascua actually comes from the Hebrew word Pesach, a.k.a. Passover. Yep, Easter and Passover are cousins. In fact, early Christians reused the word Pascua to talk about Jesus’ resurrection, which, fun fact, happened right after Passover. That’s why the Easter date bounces around—it’s all about moon cycles and springtime drama.

✝️ In Spanish, Easter Isn’t All Chocolate Bunnies

Sure, kids might love treats—but in Latin America and Spain, Easter (la Pascua) is deep. We’re talking epic processions, candlelit streets, and powerful music echoing through cathedrals. It’s not just a Sunday thing—it’s a whole week: Semana Santa. Think floats, flowers, incense, and ancient rituals still alive today.

In Spain, they’ve got monas de Pascua — a traditional cake gifted to kids by their godparents. In Guatemala or Peru? Think street carpets made of flowers and sawdust. Beautiful. Intense. And yes, still very community-based.

🎉 Easter: Not Just One Day!

In many parts of Latin America, Easter isn’t just a Sunday brunch with eggs. It’s a full-on spiritual season. In cities like Ayacucho, Peru, or Antigua, Guatemala, Semana Santa means parades every day, street art made of flower petals, music that gives you chills, and whole families cooking special dishes only eaten this time of year.

Think of it as the Latin American version of Coachella—but with incense, saints, and sacred vibes instead of wristbands and glitter.

🍽️ Easter tastes different in every country

Forget Peeps and chocolate bunnies. In Latin America and Spain, Easter comes with flavors that have centuries of history. In Mexico, you’ll find capirotada, a sweet-savory bread pudding made with cheese, raisins, cinnamon, and sometimes sprinkles (yes, sprinkles).

In Peru, Semana Santa meals skip meat and feature fish, soups, and twelve dishes to represent the apostles. Each bite tells a story.

Let’s take that Easter egg hunt energy and channel it into something just as egg-citing: tracking down some egg-cellent KDF deals! 🥚✨

From Flavors to Fun: Easter Around the Table… and Beyond!

Each bite tells a story—from the cinnamon-laced capirotada in Mexico to the fish feasts of Peru. These dishes aren’t just delicious; they’re edible traditions passed down through generations. But Easter isn’t only about what’s on the table—it’s also about who’s around it. It’s a time for connection, celebration, and a little bit of magic.

And Speaking of Magic…

Once the plates are cleared and the family’s gathered, the Easter spirit keeps going—with egg hunts, laughter, and little surprises hidden around every corner. So here’s an idea: What if this year, your Easter hunt led you somewhere unexpected? Somewhere educational, fun, and full of new experiences?

From Traditional Tastes to Modern Treats

As you can see, Easter around the world is a time for color, meaning, and a little bit of play.

And Speaking of Wonder…
