Semana Santa in Honduras is a time of deep religious devotion and cultural expression. The colonial town of Comayagua is famous for its alfombras (sawdust carpets) and processions, including a unique nighttime procession on Good Friday. In Tegucigalpa, the Way of the Cross procession to the Cristo del Picacho statue is a significant event. Coastal areas like Tela and La Ceiba see an influx of visitors combining beach vacations with religious observances. Traditional foods include sopa de capirotadas (bread soup) and rosquillas (ring-shaped corn pastries). In some rural areas, passion plays involve entire communities. The island of Roatán offers a unique blend of mainland Honduran and Garífuna Easter traditions.
