Easter Break
Every country celebrates different holidays and if countries celebrate the same holiday they celebrate it differently. So how do Spaniards celebrate Easter??? To be honest for me it was just another Sunday. No Easter egg hunts or Easter Bunny, hahah or jajaj as they say here. Of course, that is not what Easter is really about. Many people know that practically all of Spain is Catholic. However, what I found to be a shocker is that not many people go to church. I myself have gone to Mass probably 10 times (muy malo) in my stay in Spain. My host family doesn't go to church and neither do the majority of my friends. However, during "Semana Santa" (Holy Week) there are more people that go to church. Just like back at home.

Missed you at Easter. Did you make your jello eggs? I didn't make any and I even ordered myself some new molds. It was a little different this year - without you!
ReplyDeleteDanielo, however, tia Belia did make her cheesy potatoes and were very good as always. we'll make up for it.
ReplyDeleteAbrazos
LOL - Apparently I didn't make enough!!
ReplyDeleteWe tried making the jello eggs but it was a failure. I guess something gets lost in translation with the measurements. However, thanks Tia Belia for sending a bunch we will be able to try again...
ReplyDeleteI want cheesy potatoes.
