but first...why do we celebrate carnaval ?

why do we celebrate carnaval?

Carnival is a Catholic festival that happens over 3 days, usually just before Lent, in February or March.  Lent is a 40 day season of prayer and fasting that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Thursday. 

Because traditionally many people go on a fast during Lent, giving up meat, sugar or other foods and drink; carnival is an opportunity to enjoy these treats for the last time.

Carnival is celebrated in many Catholic countries all over the world.

This is also the reason why carnaval is only celebrated in the Catholic South of the Netherlands (NBrabant and Limburg)

hier leg ik uit dat carnaval/vastelaovend de avond voor het vasten is. Voor de 40 dagen vasten gaan de Katholieken nog 1 keer een feestje vieren. Ik vraag dan ook wat er 40 dagen later gevierd wordt (Easter). Dit is het belangrijkste feest in de Katholieke kerk.  En omdat die Katholieken wel van feestjes houden vieren ze op zo-ma-di voor Aswoensdag dus Vastelaovend.

Het carnaval in Rio de Janeiro begint als:

2. de burgemeester een sleutel overhandigt
3. de inwoners genoeg sleutels hebben
4. feestvierders de sleutel van de stad vinden

Waarom worden er in Venetië maskers gedragen tijdens carnaval?

1. Zodat je makkelijker vreemd kunt gaan
2. Omdat je dan makkelijker kunt spijbelen van je werk
3. Dat was vroeger een traditie, iedereen is dan gelijk
4. Zo ziet iedereen er op zijn mooist uit

leg hier uit dat wij in Limburg eigenlijk hetzelfde doen: door ons te verkleden/schminken is iedereen 'gelijk' en vervallen alle rangen en standen.

De dokter is net zo belangrijk als de huisvuilophaler, dat is de essentie van het verkleden/masker opzetten

Let's see how well you know carnival music!

You'll see part of a translated carnival song. Write down the name of the artist and title of the song!

I see them left, I see them right
One waddles and the other walks straight
I see them left, I see them right
I can’t get enough because I’m crazy silly mad

come on, let us go to the south
where carnaval originated
I was born here, I became happy

because if I need to go to sleep, eyes up to the sky,
you say, can you see it?
If I am not around anymore think of this line,
then, you will never be alone again

There’s a horse in the hall, yes yes a horse in the hall
Oo a horse in neighbour Jansen’s hall
There’s a horse in the hall, yes yes a horse in the hall
O o a horse in the hall, a horse and tail

my mum said; don't do that
but I did it anyway
yes, I know, she told me
but sometimes it is fun to do something wrong

it's raining, it's hailing and the driver doesn't see anything.
my umbrella is gone, damn, I am unlucky
throw your hands up in the air and......wiper

I am so in love, really in love
when I see you I am happy I'm alive
I am so in love
