Carnival
Generally bound to the Christian Festival of fatty Tuesday, the carnivals is a relatively widespread type of festival in Europe and South America.
One makes derive the word carnival from carn (for caro, flesh) and swallow, because one eats much flesh during the Carnival to compensate itself for the Abstinence imposed during the Lent; others, with more reason, make come this word from caro vale , i.e., good-bye the flesh. But they are rather whimsical etymologies there. The linguists retain only the Italian origin: carnevale , composed of edge (flesh) and levare (to raise, remove, remove).
They generally consist of a period when the inhabitants of the city leave disguised (even masked or made up) and find themselves for Chant er and Danse R in the streets, to throw Confetti S, possibly around a parade.
According to the religious calendar, the carnival begins with the Épiphanie (on January 6th), date which marks the end of the festivals of Christmas and stops the fatty Tuesday, beginning day before of the period of Lent.
In Germany, the carnival begins in theory the November 11th with 11:11 and finishes the following year fatty Tuesday.
The dressings-up of all kinds, the night and masked balls, the walks of the Sunday-Fat and the Shrove Tuesday are the principal recreations to which one delivers oneself during the Carnival. The Carnival of Venice and in general those of the southernmost countries are most famous and most brilliant. This use seems to be a remainder of ancestral popular holidays, such as the Bacchanales, the Lupercales, the Saturnales, the Fête of Insane the, the Ass, etc
