Semana Santa 2025: A Time for Tradition, Family, and Staying Connected
When is Semana Santa 2025?
Semana Santa, or Holy Week, is one of the most important religious and cultural celebrations in Guatemala and across Latin America. In 2025, Semana Santa will take place from April 13 to April 19, with major celebrations happening on Good Friday, April 18.
This sacred time is marked by lively street parades, traditional alfombras, and religious devotion. Families gather to honor their faith, share meals, and take part in age-old traditions. But for many Guatemalans living in the United States, being far from home during Semana Santa can be difficult.
If you have loved ones in Guatemala, this is the perfect time to send money to Guatemala and help them celebrate the holiday with everything they need – whether it's for a special meal, travel expenses, or participating in religious events.
The importance of Semana Santa for Guatemalan immigrants in the U.S.
For many Guatemalans who have moved to the United States, Semana Santa is a special reminder of home. While they may no longer be in Antigua, Guatemala City, or Quetzaltenango to see the lively street parades and celebrations, their hearts remain with their families.
This is why sending money to Guatemala from the USA becomes even more meaningful during this time. It’s a way to stay connected, show support, and make sure loved ones can fully participate in the celebrations. Whether it’s helping with church donations, festival preparations, or simply sharing in the joy of the holiday, your support matters.

Dù kỳ nghỉ đã kết thúc nhưng niềm vui vẫn được tiếp tục — chúng tôi đã cộng thưởng cho các phần thưởng Rút thăm May mắn Tháng Mười Hai. Nhưng tại Paysend, các rút thăm may mắn không chỉ xoay quanh chiến thắng, mà nhằm ghi nhận những con người thực đứng sau mỗi lần gửi tiền, và lý do tại sao việc gửi tiền lại quan trọng.
Một trong những người chiến thắng tháng 12 của chúng tôi đã chia sẻ điều này:
“Hiện tại tôi đang ở Czech và nhờ có Paysend, tôi có thể gửi tiền cho bố mẹ mình sống ở Ukraine và đang gặp khó khăn trong việc kiếm tiền trong điều kiện hiện tại.”
Những câu chuyện như thế này nhắc nhở chúng ta tại sao Paysend tồn tại. Đằng sau mỗi lần chuyển tiền là người đang hỗ trợ gia đình qua biên giới, thường vào những thời điểm đầy thách thức. Việc có thể gửi tiền dễ dàng, an toàn và không có phí không cần thiết có thể tạo ra sự khác biệt thực sự.
