Santa Semana

It is interesting to see the differences here in Colombia in comparison to my home country. Holy Week (Santa Semana) is much more important than it is in back in England.

To me this makes much more sense, after all Christianity is founded on the death and resurrection of Christ, not the birth. I do hold a belief although it is no linger tied in to the Catholic Church, ultimately as long as you respect the belief of other people, both ethical and religious, and you can honestly look at yourself and think "I am not an evil person" then you are doing ok.

I would find it fascinating if some my readers would let me know what they do for Santa Semana, do you go on holiday? Spend time with your families, stay with friends? DO you go out for food and celebrations, or is it a time for quiet reflection?

Very much like The Day of the Dead, I feel that this is an the absolute centre of the Colombian soul, I get the feeling that it is celebrated with the passion and energy with which you seize every day.

I look forward to reading your comments, please do not be shy.
