It’s CARNIVAL Season!
Carnival is a festive season which occurs just before Lent, usually during January and February. Carnival involves public celebrations, parades, school festivals, masquerades, street parties, games, food and oodles of fun and lively entertainment.
The world’s largest carnival celebration is held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with more than 2 million people on the street each day during the carnival. However, many countries worldwide have large, popular celebrations, such as Carnival of Venice, Italy, Belgium, Bolivia, Canada, Trinidad, Tobago, Spain Carnivals and the world famous Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans, Louisianna (USA).
Fun Carnival facts:
The word ‘Carnival’ means– Hundred of years ago the followers of the Roman Catholic religion in Italy started the tradition of holding a wild costume festival right before the first day of Lent. Because Roman Catholics are not supposed to eat meat during Lent, they called their festival, carnevale — which means “to put away the meat.”
African influences – Important to Caribbean festival arts are the ancient African traditions of parading and moving in circles through villages wearing costumes and masks. Circling villages was believed to bring good fortune.
Carnival costumes – The first step in putting together a carnival troop is to come up with a theme or overall concept for the group then to develop costume illustrations for each section of dancers. It takes many weeks of welding, sewing, gluing, applying feathers, sequins, foil papers, glitter and lots of creativity, energy, and patience to create the costumes. But you must agree the results are breathtaking!
Have a fun Carnival!
