Today I'm going to talk about the carnival, a party which is celebrated in all the villages and where people bring very funny clothes. I think that this is a very interesting party so I’m going to explain a little bit better what it consists of.
Traditionally, in Christianity, carnival marked the last opportunity to celebrate and to eat special foods before Lent. The Lenten period of the Church calendar lasted six weeks directly before Easter. The forty days of Lent, recalling the biblical account of the forty days that Jesus spent in the wilderness, serve to mark an annual time of turning to God and religious discipline. In the days before Lent, all rich food and drink had to be disposed of. A giant party that involved everybody is thought to be the origin of Carnival.
Carnival is celebrated in a lot of countries like Germany, England, Brazil, and Portugal. This is a nice festivity where people can drink a lot, eat delicious food and dance with their friends.
Normally it has 2 parts: firstly the people go around the village on their floats bringing their fancy dresses; after that, they go to the dance where everybody is invited and where the party ends.
