Carnival Origins
Carnival is deeply intertwined with the Christian calendar, specifically linked to the celebration of Easter. The day before Lent begins, known as Shrove Tuesday, was historically a time for revelry and feasting, allowing people to use up their meat supplies before the fasting period commenced. The term "carnival" itself is derived from Latin phrases meaning "farewell to meat," highlighting its connection to this festive occasion.In this clip
