This was a great recourse to use with my all my Spanish classes. My students enjoyed learning about Holy Week. Great resource for the days before Spring Break.

This is the most thorough presentation I have found on talking about La Semana Santa! Over the years I have learned that so many students are completely unaware of these culturally significant celebrations celebrated around the world! I am grateful for being the one to share them with my classes and grateful to Martina for creating such a wonderful week-long lesson plan! Some years I can only share snippets of it, but it's always well received!!
