Easter is a surprising vague concept here in Nicaragua. As a country that is overwhelmingly Christian (80+%),
Easter frankly doesn’t seem to exist.
Instead, the emphasis of the holiday seems to be put on “Holy Friday”. As I mentioned last year, it is a national
holiday celebrated with parades. The
tone is much less somber than the USA’s Good Friday – people are happy that
Jesus died for them. Therefore, I guess
it makes the celebration of Easter unnecessary?
I’ve said feliz Pascua and como paso su Pascua to people and have
generally received blank stares leading me to believe that many people are
completely unfamiliar with the concept.
Anywho, happy Easter!
Anywho, happy Easter!
