History of the Carnival on the world
The celebration of Carnival has its probable origin in pagan festivals, such as those performed in honor of Bacchus, the
god of wine, the Roman Saturnalia and the Lupercalia, or to be made in honor of
the Apis bull in Egypt.
According to some historians, the origins of Carnival can be traced back to ancient
Sumeria and Egypt, more than 5.000 years, with similar celebrations in the
Roman Empire, where the custom spread throughout Europe, being brought to America by Spanish and Portuguese
navigators who colonized us from the fifteenth century.
The Carnival "Christian" The celebration of Carnival is one of the most
popular holidays. It is celebrated in countries with Christian tradition, before Lent. Usually, in many
places is celebrated for three days, and designated by the name of carnival, and are the three days preceding Ash Wednesday, which is the day Lent begins in the Christian calendar.
It is assumed that the word carnival comes from medieval Latin "carnelevarium" meaning "to
remove the flesh" and referring to the religious prohibition of eating meat during the forty days of
Lent.
