April Blogging A to Z Challenge 2026: E is for Easter in Belize

 Easter in Belize was my first Holiday religious otherwise spent in a foreign country. What I noticed was how less capitalized the holiday was. I am sure the day was celebrated in the local churches. 

Here is a video from a couple of years ago about how Easter is celebrated:


Where I was on the southern coast, the community had a big party night at the local bars and restaurant.  Which makes sense to celebrate and to also mark the end of lent.

Here is a video from 10 years ago, at a place that we stopped by last Easter!

It's interesting how different places celebrate the same holiday.

Didn't spend Easter in Belize, but I suspect it's a more solemn holiday.
