Hi my steemians friends!
Today I want to talk about Carnival! Because life is a carnival!
π π π
π Carnival
The Carnival is a festive Western Christian and Greek Orthodox season. Generally celebrated in February or early March, carnival involves a public celebration or parade. The inhabitants wear costumes or masks, makeup ... and meet to sing, dance, make music in the streets. It is a convivial and warm moment that allows to modify and shake conventions and social rules. I love it! πππ
π Origins
The Carnival tradition dates back to the Paleolithic (minus 15,000 to 10,000 BC). It dates from the discovery of "the man in the mask" in the cave of the Three Brothers in AriΓ¨ge in France. In my country of origin, I'm so proud πππ!
It is from the Middle Ages that the mask was used as a costume. Then, under the reign of Francis I, this accessory reappeared in the form of the "loup" (from Italy). Under Louis XIV, the ballet artists dancing for the King had a "loup" to masked their faces.
π The modern Carnival
The Carnival has its origins in Europe where it developed before spreading around the world!
Nowadays, carnival masks can range from simple "wolf" to the most elaborate makeup or masks. But their function has remained the same: to hide the faces of the participants to allow them to have fun in complete freedom!

Thanks for the information about carnival! This is my first year in Europe (im from New Zealand where we don't celebrate carnival π₯). We are off to tenirefe on Sunday as we heard it is one of the best places for carnival. Does anyone have any recomendations for anything inparticular to see there?
I've been to venice carnival. It will be one memorable day for everyone in. Carnivals bring culture from heart of history to nodern life. Colors and acts... amazing
Life is like a carnival. The cotton candy is all of the sweet things in your life. The carnies are the unwanted junk. The rides represent all of the diversity and choices

Is Sitges carnival going to be your first carnival to go for the first time? I would love to go to one of these carnivals wearing beautiful costumes and face mask! Sounds so intriguing! Look forward to your next carnival photos!
thanks
Very nicely written :) It's always nice to read your blogs :)
Great experienced about carnival!!
My experience is with Mardi Gras, and I have always loved it. Easily one of my favorite holidays. I'd love to go visit the other versions around the world. Be sure to share your costume! My grandmother used to make all of the costumes for the kings/queens of the large mardi gras krewes in New Orleans.
I want to visit any carnival. The person who enjoys it already he knows the moment of this. Maybe the best feelings and moment of life
Muy atractiva tu publicaciΓ³n, y me uno al comentario del amigo venezolano que te acaba de comentar. Es cierto que aquΓ , en mi paΓs nos gusta la fiesta, y mΓ‘s aΓΊn cuando Γ©sta celebra la vida, la alegrΓa.
NotΓ© que al inicio de la publicaciΓ³n escribes afirmando que es una fiesta cristiana occidental, en realidad es primera vez que leo que su origen es cristiano....
Excelente pulicaciΓ³n!!! Saludos desde Venezuela
So .. what will your costume look like ... Do you mind giving us a hint ..... @flamingirl

I really like your posts that menakjubkan.saya want to follow the way amotifasi enough bagus.terimakasih sharing information is important to me, Angel very cantik..seni incredible.
They have a Mardi Gras event in Mobile Alabama where my daughter lives. Quite an event. They have what they call a King cake there that is just delicious. They put a plastic baby in it to represent the baby Jesus. The person who finds the baby in his piece of cake is blessed with having to buy the cake in the next year.
beautiful photos, I follow the carnivals of Rio de Janeiro, the parade is always spectacular
Very good, i like post..resteem
Best of momentum to remember historis.
Nice story. thank you for sharing.
Wow, didn't know the history or the top spots for carnival. I always assumed just Brazil and New Orleans. Thanks for sharing, @flamingirl.
hello dear flamingirl, I loved your post because was informative and colorful. In my country the carnival is very diferent because the people often to celebrate wetting others is funny for theirs, but I think that in others countries is much better.
Las imΓ‘genes muy buenas y bien esplicito el contenido, te dejo mi voto. Saludos
Another great article. Just a week back we took kids to the carnival. And it was a hell of a experience. Right from the food, stalls, concert to rides. Everything was super cool. I think it was an excellent time to socialize, gather and enjoy !
Did you participate yourself in one?
Here in Cebu Philippines, we have this so called sinulog festival. Your photos are so lively and colorful.
super interesting post. I really want to travel the world one day and i think experiencing different carnivals from around the world gives you a great sense of the culture an traditions places have to offer .
EXCELENTE
