📜 History of Semana Morazánica

During the 2015 structural reform, the Honduran parliament decided to combine the October holidays into a four-or five-day celebration to compensate for a long weekend. The notion is similar to the American holiday of Labor Day weekend. Each holiday is given its due, while the rest of the month is free of disturbances.

Hondurans can take advantage of the extended weekend to unwind. During the week of celebration, families reconnect, and various generations gather to drink and eat under one roof. Hondurans are also encouraged by the government to arrange intrastate trips and see their wonderful nation. The week is jam-packed with activities planned by community leaders, and local craftsmen and crafters get the opportunity to display their work while also earning a living. Santa Morazánica also covers Army Day, a day to honor Honduras’ military forces and their sacrifices to make Honduras a secure and habitable country for all Hondurans.
