After the gaiety of the Carnaval, the mood quickly turns somber as the Lenten season sets in. During the weeks leading up to, and including, the Holy Week, locals and Catholics perform various religious acts. The Holy Week culminates in Good Friday and Easter Sunday. These are two of the most important Catholic holidays.
