Brazilian Carnival

A Timeless Tradition
History of Brazilian Carnival
Carnival is a traditional celebration that takes place in Brazil during
several days in February. It was introduced to Brazil by Europeans in the
17th century. During Carnival, people adorn themselves in vibrant
costumes and participate in public parades filled with dancing, drinking,
and playful banter.

However, over the years, law enforcement has faced challenges in


controlling drug use, intoxicated individuals, violence, and petty theft. To
address these issues, the Brazilian government established
Sambadromes, providing safe spaces for people to enjoy the parades.

Despite the challenges, the Brazilian Carnival continues to attract visitors


from around the globe, boosting national tourism in major cities.
After the Carnival festivities, then Ash Wednesday
After the Carnival festivities, according to the
Catholic tradition, the season of Lent begins.
Lent is a period of 40 days leading up to
Easter Sunday, commemorating the 40 days
that Jesus spent fasting in the desert. It is a
time of reflection, penance, and preparation
for the celebration of Easter, which is the
most important event in the Christian
calendar, commemorating the resurrection of
Jesus Christ. During Lent, Catholics often
practice fasting, prayer, and almsgiving as a
way to spiritually prepare for Easter.
Passover Jews do not celebrate Easter because it is a
Christian holiday that commemorates the
resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter has its
roots in Christian theology and tradition, and
it is not part of Jewish religious observance.
Instead, Jews have their own religious
holidays and festivals, such as Passover
(Pesach), which commemorates the
Israelites' liberation from slavery in ancient
Egypt, and other significant events in
Jewish history and tradition. Additionally, the
theological significance of Easter,
particularly the belief in the resurrection of
Jesus, is not part of Jewish faith or belief.
Therefore, Jews do not celebrate Easter in
the same way that Christians do.
