 What
is Carnival?
It is an annual celebration of life found in many countries
of the world. And in fact, by learning more about carnival we
can learn more about ourselves and a lot about accepting and
understanding other cultures. Where
did the word “carnival” come from?
Hundred and hundreds of years ago, the followers of the Catholic
religion in Italy started the tradition of holding a wild
costume festival right before the first day of Lent. Because
Catholics are not supposed to eat meat during Lent, they called
their festival, carnevale — which means “to put
away the meat.” As time passed, carnivals in Italy became
quite famous; and in fact the practice spread to France, Spain,
and all the Catholic countries in Europe. Then as the French,
Spanish, and Portuguese began to take control of the Americas
and other parts of the world, they brought with them their
tradition of celebrating carnival.
