I would love to celebrate easter like in the US, with bunnies, eggs and chocolates but here, we "celebrate" (I think is not the word, but... oh well...) in other ways , it's more a spiritual thing. I'm not saying I don't like it but I don't have sweet memories of this kind of tradition.
I can only remember me, standing under the sun, listening to the Father saying incomprehensible things to me at that time, in an "via crucis" which my mother took me once u_u.
We called this week "semana santa" (holy week).
Yesterday was the "domingo de ramos" (palm sunday).Many people went to the church, to bless their palms. Many merchants offers their craft palms.

Necky, These are fabulous pictures! I never get to see things like this. We celebrate more spiritually than many Americans. For us, tomorrow is more about Christ's resurrection and what that means for us than about Easter eggs. We will go to church in the morning as we always do, but then plan to go to the beach for the day in Galveston.

I love the chalice and all the palm leaf ornaments! Thanks for sharing about your home!

PS. Love the new look on your blog!
