My name is Rosa and today we will be doing a holiday edition for these Spanish weekly words. So let’s see what the first holiday is. So it’s holy week. The Holy week it means, indicates it lasts for a week. What we celebrate in that week is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So during that week, there are a lot of procesiónes. People go to the streets with figures and sculptures of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary. So let’s go to the words. |
So the first word is [Semana Santa] which is the translation of the “holy week”. [Durante la Semana Santa comemos muchos rosquillos tontos.] - “During the holy week, we eat a lot of dumb donuts”. They are like fried donuts. In the town my parents are from, they call it like dumb donuts, I don’t know why but they are pretty delicious and I am looking forward to having some. |
So the next word is [Domingo de Pascua] which is”Easter Sunday”. Easter Sunday is the Sunday Jesus Christ resurrects. Yeah in Spain, we don’t really associate the Easter word with bunnies or Chocolate eggs. So yeah [Mis amigas fueron a la iglesia en Domingo de Pascua.] - “My friends went to the church the Easter Sunday”. |
The next word is [Viernes Santo] which means “good Friday” and it’s the day Jesus Christ dies [Fui a ver procesiones el Viernes Santo.] - “On Good Friday, I went to see some martyrs”. Yeah I don’t know the exact word of this or the traditional martyrs we do in Spain during the holy week. |
The next word is [crucifixión] which means “crucifixion”. [El Viernes Santo es el día en que Jesucrito fue crucificado.] - “Good Friday was the day Jesus Christ was crucified”. |
The next word is [resurrección] resurrection [Jesucristo resucitó el tercer día despues de su muerte.] - “Jesus Christ resurrected on the 3rd day of his death”. |
So this is the end of today blah blah! So this is the end of today’s Spanish weekly words holiday’s edition. I hope you learned something about how we celebrate the holy week and don’t forget to check this out. Bye. I wouldn’t want to die crucified. |
