Semana Santa, Holy Week, is the most important Catholic religious festival in South America. Celebrating the last days of Christ's life, the Crucifixion and Resurrection, as well as the end of Lent. Semana Santa is observed with a range of celebrations.

Saint Peter and Saint Paul - Observed by Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran churches. One of the oldest saints' days commemorating San Pedro and San Pablo.

Saint Rose of Lima - Santa Rosa was the Founder of social work in Peru and was the first saint born in the Americas. She was extremely devoted to her vow of chastity, was a mystic and visionary, and received invisible stigmata throughout her life.

All Saints Day - This day is dedicated to the memory of the dead. Peruvians attend Mass and then in coastal communities, head to the cemetery, bringing flowers and in the highlands, food to share symbolically with the souls of the dead. The worship of the dead was a common and respected custom during pre-Hispanic times in Peru, and part of that tradition, combined with Christian elements, still lives on today.
