Lunes 19 de Marzo Semana-Santa

Holy Week in the Christian ecclesiastical The earliest allusion to the custom of marking this week as a whole with special observances is to be found in the Apostolical Constitutions (v. 18, 19), dating from the latter half of the 3rd century A.D. In this text, abstinence from wine and flesh is commanded for all the days, while for the Friday and Saturday an absolute fast is commanded. Dionysius Alexandrin in his canonical epistle (260 A.D.), refers to the six fasting days implying that the observance of them had already become an established usage in his time.year is the week immediately preceding Easter
