Question: How do you say 'Easter' in Spanish?

Answer: The Easter celebrations in Spain are known as 'Semana Santa' (Holy Week).

But the Spanish word for 'Easter Sunday' is 'Pascua'. However, Spanish celebrations don't center so heavily on the Sunday as they do in much of the rest of the world. To really experience Semana Santa in Spain, you ought to see what goes on on the Thursday and Friday before.
