Easter Week Celebrations in Ecuador. In many countries around the world, Easter is celebrated as a religious festival, and while some set aside a weekend, Ecuador has an Easter Week. Each city has its own traditional ways of celebrating this festive period, but its general meaning and celebratory purposes remain the same. Easter Week in Ecuador is celebrated from the 16th to the 23rd of March in 2008 and it is a time where the crucifixion of Christ is remembered and His rising commemorated.
Thus, for example, Santa Cruz celebrates on the 24th of September, in honor of the Battle of La Florida while Tarija celebrates on the 15th of April, in honor of the Battle of the Tablada, and so on. However, the date on which the entire county celebrates Bolivia Independence Day together is August 6th.
