Jueves Santo 2026
Definition
Holy Thursday in the year 2026, falling on April 2, a key day in Holy Week (Semana Santa) commemorating Jesus Christ's Last Supper with his disciples and the institution of the Eucharist.
In Christian tradition, especially prominent in Spanish-speaking countries, it marks the start of the Paschal Triduum, often observed with solemn processions, foot-washing rituals, and abstinence from meat—perfect excuse for extra fish tacos.
