Carnival

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.

In modern times Carnival has evolved into grand spectaculars arround the world including Rio de Janeiro, Jamaica, Russia, Japan and the Chinese New Year.

Personal opinion:

I enjoy Carnival, because I like dressing up and having fun with everyone.

   
My costum: 
  
My costume was of elvis presley. I had a white jacket with colored sequins and white pants bell. I also wore a sequined belt. In hair, I had a toupee, fake sideburns and I dye my hair black. I also had sunglasses.

Carnival in my school:

In Escuela 2, Carnival is very funny. The tradition is that a teacher disguised as carnival king
and gives sweets to the students to be dressed. Students who are not dressed, the carnival king throw they flour. Also we do a costume contest, and the winners will get a prize.
