Pascua
Easter’s date changes every year: it occurs on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox – so somewhere between 22 March and 25 April.
The week immediately preceding Easter (Sunday to Saturday) is called Holy Week. Here’s all the Spanish vocabulary you need to celebrate this Christian period of renewal.
