Holy Week is a religious culture of the Catholic Church, in this week we remember the life, passion and death of Jesus Christ. For Catholic believers is immense Faith demonstrated in each activity which is attended, for this there are programs in each parish to make the ritual emanating from the Catholic Church in each community.
In general, the ritual of the Stations of the Cross used to be done as part of the obligations as a student in the school age, high school and then as a classroom teacher, according to the schedule of each school, it was also linked to the church closest to the school, in this the school received an invitation to participate in this activity. In the area where I live, they organize the Stations of the Cross, I have participated in some, for other reasons I have avoided the station assigned in my house. Lately my participation has been null in this activity.
In my parents' culture a trip or a walk was never in their organization, although the meals were, just as the traditional games of these days my mother did her best to teach them. There was the game with the sands, another game with candies...it was part of maintaining her traditions with which she grew up, as a sign of the holidays with the Holy Week.
With my husband and children, when they were young, he gave me the permission to participate with his family in his farm, to spend those days there, with swimming pool, music and food. Then, I withdrew a little from it, I preferred to stay at home for these days. I feel, more tranquility and give the true sense to these holy days.

In my mind I feel to be without memories about rituals by my maternal grandmother, I think the most common was to go to church for the blessing of holy water, to have it at home for special cases.
My preparation for Holy Week days is to be concentrated in the ingredients of the traditional meals, in Venezuela here we call it cuajado, this is with fish, for this you decide what kind of fish you will use for this. In particular I like it very much with tuna. Among the sweets, rice with coconut, with milk, mango jelly among others part of what I remember from my grandmother for these dates.

Among the prepared recipes, there are groups that love morrocoy curd (I have always wondered why?...for me morrocoys are untouchable, I grew up in a yard full of morrocoys and nobody ever thought of eating them. In Venezuela, everyone has their own traditions, everything has varied a lot for different reasons. Everyone decides what to do these days, I like to be at home.
