∙ 12y agoEaster in Argentina is primarily a religious celebration. During Holy Week, thousands of Argentinians make a pilgrimage to the city of Tandil, where 14 groupings of stone sculptures depict the Stations of the Cross.
Viernes Santo (Good Friday) is a national holiday and many businesses are closed until Easter Monday. Many businesses close on Jueves Santo (Holy Thursday), making the holiday a 4-day weekend.
Families gather on Easter day for a meal. After the meal, they have a hallow chocolate egg or Kinder egg (hallow chocolate egg with small candies or toys inside). Traditionally, a bread ring topped with sprinkles, candied fruit, pastry cream and/or chocolate drizzles called rosca de Pascua, is served.
