The origin of Carnival

In Europe, Carnival is a traditional festival. The predecessor of Carnival is the European and American Carnival, which originated in ancient Egypt and later became the celebration of Saturnalia in ancient Rome. But have you ever known that the original origin of this beautiful Chinese name is related to a story in the Bible more than 2,000 years ago.

There is a story in the "Bible New Testament" about the devil tempting Jesus. It tells the story of the devil trapping Jesus in the wilderness and not giving him anything to eat for 40 days. Although Jesus was hungry, he did not accept the devil's temptation. lure. Later, in order to commemorate Jesus' fasting in the wilderness during these 40 days, believers used the 40 days before Easter as their days of fasting and repentance, called Lent or Lent. It is said that the Wooden God Festival and the Dionysian Festival in ancient Greece and ancient Rome are its predecessors. During these 40 days, people are not allowed to eat meat or entertain, and life is solemn and dull. Therefore, in the week or half a week before the start of Lent, people will hold banquets, dances, and parties to indulge in joy. Later, such a day gradually evolved into a traditional Chinese festival, called "Carnevale" in Latin, which means: "Farewell to meat." Carnevale is translated as Carnival in English. Nowadays, not many people adhere to the strict rules and regulations such as Lent, but the traditional carnival activities have been preserved and become an important festival for people.
