There are a lot of festivities while the year<\/strong>, and usually all of them are the same day each year<\/strong> (which makes it easier to be remembered) but there are some of them that change every year. Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of them is Carnival<\/strong>, but not only, even Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Ascension and Corpus day<\/strong> are celebrated different days every year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To understand why, we have to know that all these festivities are Catholic<\/strong>.
\nMaybe you like or not the Catholic religion or maybe you don\u2019t like any kind of religion, but I have learnt that to know why things are done in some way, we have to understand the local traditions<\/strong> and the religion is<\/strong> maybe the most important one<\/strong>. So, when we travel, it\u2019s important we learn basic thinks of the local religion, whatever is the religion that they follow or have followed. In my country we have a deeply Catholic tradition<\/strong>, but it\u2019s the same when we travel to a country where they follow Buddhist; Muslim; Jewish <\/strong>or other kind of religion.<\/p>\n

So we were saying that Carnival, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Ascension and Corpus day are related. All of them turn around Holy Sunday<\/strong>, when Christians remember the Resurrection of Jesus<\/strong>. I would say, this and Nativity are the most important days for a Catholic<\/strong>.
\nWell, to choose which of the 52 \/ 53 Sundays of the year will be Holy Sunday, it\u2019s always the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring<\/strong>. As you know spring starts on March 20th<\/sup> or 21st<\/sup> and is the season where everything revive.\"\"<\/a>
\nOnce we know which one is Holly Sunday, it\u2019s easy. As we said the rest of the dates turn around Holly Sunday. So:<\/p>\n
