2. Todos conocemos nuestra Semana…pero sabéis que en
otros países, las diferencias son muchas. La tradición, la
cultura, etc…..
Here in Spain, everybody know very well, the different
traditions related to our “Semana Santa” , but there many
different celebrations for Jesus Christ´s Passion…

3. We are going to compare our traditional Semana
Santa with Easter in England

4. Las fechas de celebración son las mismas, y el motivo
también es religioso…..
When is the Easter festival celebrated?
Easter is usually celebrated in April. However, there isn’t
an established date for it. The earliest date for its
celebration is March 22nd and the latest is April 25th .

5. Nosotros nos vamos a centrar en las diferencias entre las
tradiciones gastronómicas y celebración en las calles……
We will focus in two important aspects: gastronomy and
celebration in the street…..

6. GASTRONOMÍA/GASTRONOMY
Una de las partes más conocidas
son los típicos dulces de cada
lugar:
SPAIN
Torrijas
Flores
Barquillos

7. ENGLAND
Easter eggs
Chocolate eggs are given to children. The eggs are either hollow or
have a filling, and are usually covered with brightly coloured silver
paper.
Easter Biscuits
Easter Biscuits are sometimes called "Cakes", and are eaten on
Easter Sunday. They contain spices, currants and sometimes
grated lemon rind.
Simnel cake .
The Simnel cake is baked for tea, and is a rich fruitcake covered
with a thick layer of almond paste (marzipan). A layer of marzipan
is also traditionally baked into the middle of the cake.
Eleven balls of marzipan are placed around the top to represent
the eleven true disciples (excluding Judas).

9. And now, after all these delicious desserts, we are going to
continue with traditional celebrations in the street…..
IN SPAIN…
Most people go out to the street to enjoy special events, which are uniques in
our country. The most popular event is the procession.
In this peculiar event, many people watch figures representing the principal
chapters of the Jesus Christ Passion…

10. People in England enjoy these days travelling around their country,
and so do we here in Spain, but many people celebrate Easter with
other popular traditions like….
Morris Dancing
Morris dancing is a traditional English form of folk dance which is also
performed in other English-speaking countries such as the USA and
Australia. The roots of Morris dancing seem to be very old, probably
dating back to the Middle Ages.
In the dance men dress up in costumes with hats and ribbons and bells
around their ankles. They dance through the streets and one man often
carries an inflated pigs bladder on the end of a stick. He will run up to
young women in the street and hit them over the head with the pigs
bladder, this is supposed to be lucky (men)!

11. Easter egg hunt….
Although the tradition is to use dyed or painted chicken eggs, a
modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs
filled with confectionery such as jelly beans. These eggs can be
hidden for children to find on Easter morning, which may be left
by the Easter Bunny. They may also be put in a basket filled with
real or artificial straw to resemble a bird's nest.
