The Significance of Semana Santa
Semana Santa, also known as Holy Week, is a major event in the Christian calendar. It is a time for reflection and deepening one's connection with God, commemorating the final week of Jesus Christ's life, his crucifixion, and resurrection. The celebration spans from Palm Sunday, when Jesus made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem, to Easter Sunday, the day of his resurrection.
At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, we recognize the importance of Semana Santa and aim to provide a meaningful experience that brings individuals closer to God and their faith. Through a series of diverse religious activities and events, we create an environment that allows our community to reflect, worship, and connect with one another.

Palm Sunday Procession
Our Semana Santa celebration begins with a vibrant Palm Sunday procession where members of our congregation join together, carrying palm branches to reenact Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. It is a joyful occasion filled with singing, prayer, and a shared sense of anticipation for the week ahead.
Maundy Thursday Service
On Maundy Thursday, we gather for a solemn service that commemorates the Last Supper, wherein Jesus shared the Passover meal with his disciples. This moving service includes readings, prayers, and the washing of feet, symbolizing Jesus' act of humility and service.
Good Friday Reflection
Good Friday is a day of reflection and mourning, as we remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, we hold a special service where we recount the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion, offer prayers, and meditate on the profound sacrifice that was made for humanity's salvation.
Easter Sunday Celebration
