At Eastertime, the most important holiday in the Christian world,
religious processions in many Latin American countries pass over
ornate street "carpets" fashioned from colored sawdust, flowers and
fruit. Children in Finland and Sweden dress as "Easter witches." In
the Caribbean, those who swim on Good Friday risk bad luck. In the
Philippines, some penitents volunteer to be crucified. In some
European countries, Easter Monday is the day for dousing women with
water. With 240 entries, this book explores these and scores of
other unusual and sometimes bizarre international Holy Week
customs, both sacred and secular, from pilgrimages to Jerusalem to
classic seasonal films and television specials.
