Holy Saturday In Mexico

On April 19, 2025, several families visit a pumping station located on a highway in the State of Mexico to get wet, swim, and participate in the Holy Week and Holy Saturday celebrations in Mexico. The tradition of getting wet dates back to the Middle Ages when the Catholic Church had several rules to be followed during Lent, including not bathing during Holy Week. Water, as an element of purification, was to be used only until Holy Saturday. At that time, people throw water on each other to purify their souls and wash away their sins. During Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday, everyone gathers to be baptized collectively. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
