Easter Sunday - Domingo de Resurrección celebrates the resurrection of Jesús Christ and is the end of the Holy Week and Lent.

Semana Santa - The holy week that ends the 40-day Lent period. Includes Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The Mexican custom is to break confetti-filled eggs over the heads of friends and family.

Semana Santa is Mexico's second most important holiday season of the year, behind only Christmas, and runs from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. In addition to attending Mass on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, many Mexicans will also take advantage of the holiday to go on vacation.

If you're planning to visit Mexico during Semana Santa, make sure you checked on availability in advance.
