Public holidays in Honduras are primarily centered on Christianity and the commemoration of significant events in Honduran history. Each celebration is very important to many families across this country. They are often celebrated with extended family members and friends. On a few of the most important holidays, such as Independence Day and holy week, parades and processions are held from early morning to late in the afternoon or evening.
