yes that is true that many business minded people continue to sell and their business during holy week because they could have many customers this kind of season,so they used this time to have a good profit because many people will buy came from different places.

Maybe, its the same reason why some other family chose to go for a beach or out of town celebration during this holiday. People would either stay at home, spend money and be elsewhere,or like what you see, earn money. It May be the only chance they have.

i've never heard of that one before, that's outrageous. I thought that earning a living meant working 7 days a week not just on holy week.

These people thinks more of themselves than others,what they were thinking is just to earn more and they grab the opportunity that a lot of visitors will be coming and they can sell their goods at a higher price.These people doesn't know God's word and why we are celebrating holyweek.
