The origin of the term, carnival, is disputed. Some argue that the carnival is derived the Italian word, carne (meat); the name comes from the Italian carne levare, meaning ‘to remove meat’, since meat is prohibited during Lent.

Others argue that carnival stemmed the word, carrus, suggesting a pre-Christian festival.

Carnival is very much part of Brazilian culture. Brazilians call their carnivals the ‘Greatest Show on Earth’. The first Brazilian carnival took place in Rio de Janeiro in 1641.

Still, Rio de Janeiro carnival is considered worldwide, as the capital of the Brazilian carnival.

Roll on the 2016 Rio Olympics!

In England, the season immediately before Lent was called Shrovetide. It was a time for shriving where people would confess their sins.

Nowadays, Shrove Tuesday is celebrated as Pancake Day.

We had pancakes; the rest of the world had carnival!

 I have only been to Mardi Gras. It is great you just ask a woman to show her breasts and she will.
This is not meant to offend any one in any way.
