What I've learned about the Easter holiday here (so far):
Next week is 'Semana Santa,' which is "Holy Week." Dominicans celebrate Friday, when Jesus died, rather than on Sunday when Jesus arose. Stores are closed on Friday, people do not travel, or eat meat that day. Thursday is a very busy traveling day, as people are going to where they are going to celebrate the holiday. They do not have Easter candy or the Easter bunny here. The teacher's here will decorate with Easter decorations, but b/c Spring Break is during Easter, there are not Easter parties. Friday, the elementary had a Curriculum fair, inviting parent's, with the grades displaying various topics, and then having a Chapel focusing on the Resurrection.
And let Spring Break begin! :-)
