The Easter weekend here in Costa Rica was quite the event, with nearly the entire country grinding to a slow halt for one of the most revered religious holidays of the year.  Let’s go over the events.

Monday through Wednesday are know as Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday and Holy Wednesday. The next day is called Maundy (Holy) Thursday. Following these days we have Good Friday, which is normally a fast day, so only one meal permitted.  On Holy Saturday, once the sun goes down, this is officially the beginning of Easter. Easter Sunday is the time when parties and feasts occur in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Here at Outward Bound Costa Rica, we had a small celebration of our own which included some secret family recipes of staff member Wendy.  We enjoyed quite a spread as you can see below.

And the cook herself, Wendy!
