What is carnival: origins of the world’s biggest party

[@EEntretenimento]

Brazil's carnival was made with the mixture of rhythms and dances from many countries, and that includes Brazil itself. But if there is something that was created in Brazil itself, this is the parade of "fancy cars" (Carros Alegóricos, in Portuguese). This was created in Brazil and today many countries around the world "copy" it from Brazil.

The video says that Brazilian Carnaval is a mix of Portuguese and Africans... as a Brazilian and a black woman I must say that Portugal only contributed with the Christian calendar ALL THE REST: the rhythm, the dance, came from Africa... and later on the parades with the African decedents!!! And let's not forget that in the beginning of Carnaval in Brazil black people were persecuted and arrested... Now it's a big party, but in the past it used to be a very marginalized party!!! Same goes for feijoada, now it's our national food, but it used to be slave food, made from the rest of meat that the slave owners didn't want to eat!!!

[@the_jujuman5269]

[@MrAmhara]

It started in Egypt. Egypt is in Africa.

[@vinihgaspar]

Not really, part of the rhythm is of European descent, and also native descent, and feijoada came from Portugal, it's a myth that came from slaves

[@ganikus8565]

In Brazil , African were allowed to participate to Carnivals only since the 70's... While Brazilian Carnivals exist for nearly 500 years. So no, African barely contributed to Carnivals...

[@ganikus8565]

Too many mistakes in this video: Historically there's no evidence with the Egyptian festivity. And even though Greece and Rome had two different festivities that some people associate with the carnival, yet there's no real ressemblance nor direct link. Second mistake of this video is the Latin Carne - Vale. but in Latin, it's Carne -Levare. ( Levare = to remove ) And this linguistic mistake show how the economist cannot be trusted, at least with this subject. And third, the video seems to mean that Carnival started in 18th century Italy...but Carnivals started during the medieval period. In Venise( Italy) it started during the 11th century, Nice ( France) and Binche ( Belgium ) started during the 13th century ... And they have nothing to do with Egypt in whatever ways.

[@FOLIPE]

Also interesting to remember that since the seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere, carnival in Brazil also developed to merge with something like a harvest celebration, so it change quite a lot...

The biggest exporter of Carnival right now is Trinidad. It has created satellite Trini Carnivals (which other Caribbean islands have also gravitated to as well) in Nottinghill UK, Berlin Germany, Tokyo Japan, Toronto Canada, Hollywood, California, Miami and New York.

[@listenup2882]

I must let you know that other islands had their own carnival celebrations independent of Trinidad. Of course now many are modelled on the Trinidadian and Brazilian carnivals. Personally I think carnival is ungodly.

Egyptians ranged from pale to light brown like a modern day Arab. In fact Modern day Egyptians have more subsaharan dna than their relatives. The Muslim invasions injected almost zero middle eastern DNA into the Egyptian genome. Modern day Egyptians are the descendants of ancient Egyptians and had the same complexion as their forefathers. Sub Saharan Africans had Nubia Mali Ghana and Benin empires to take pride in. Stop appropriating history and embrace and discover your own great empires.

Carnival originated as a pagan festival in ancient Egypt, to usher out winter and celebrate the beginning of spring. When Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, the Ancient Greeks adopted the festival. The word, “carne” means “meat” in Latin and “vale”, means “farewell”.

[@TheGRANCRU]

Carnival was firstly introduced as a pagan festival in Ancient Egypt, to usher out winter and celebrate the beginning of spring. It was called Sham El-Nessim

[@eddesa5134]

@@TheGRANCRU The Economist is Atheist Marxist propaganda that tries to portray Catholicism as pagan and backward/ superstition. Africans/ Blacks want to claim their civilisation had an influence on Europe. In fact Carnival has NOTHING AT ALL in common with Sham El-Nessim nor any festival of ancient Greece or Rome or pagans. Carnival is a religious festival that is the last chance to party and consume all the meat and alcohol that will be forbidden during the following 40 days period of penitence, fasting and charity that follows. It has NOTHING to do with celebrating spring (Easter would be more in common though again the Catholic celebration is about the Resurrection of Christ) and none of the pagan festivals were undertaken to consume perishables because of a prolonged fast!

Feijoada nunca foi comida de escravo, isso é lenda. A explicação é bem simples: O prato tinha carne de porco e escravo não comia carne, mesmo as partes que, supostamente, os donos dos escravos não comiam. Essas partes, hoje negligenciadas em nossa culinária, faziam e ainda faz parte de vários pratos encontrados na Península Ibérica e na Alemanha, portanto não podemos dizer que eram restos.

How do you celebrate this time of year? Do you use the lunar cycle as well? What is your celebration back story and what are some of the symbols used and traditions enacted? I love hearing about how people express their perspectives of life. You'd be amazed at how many different ways this time of the year is celebrated and how many similar threads tie them all together.

carnival is older THAN EGYPT. its also not pagan PAGAN: "a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main world religions". in that time period that was the main faith of the planet YEAH that original faith was in most lands hence Carnival is everywhere. that is the faith that made gold valuable after-all. 😑Modern people think they are 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽..when its their ancestors who did all the heavy lifting. like you cut those roads

carnival started in Venice during the 13 century after war victory to celebrate the start of lent and new beginnings in the catholic liturgical year.. the Venice festival is the oldest on earth. then it was exported by europeans with their creole descendants around the world.

@@covfefe1787 I'm going to look up Bacchanalia and Saturnalia just to see if those parties had an influence on the people of that area. I'm aware that some of the traditions of those parties have made it into today's society so maybe previous partyers learned from people who taught them. Have you ever wondered why the dates for this partying change every year? It's based on a lunar cycle. I think it's amazing that people have figured out the moon cycles and the solstice and equinox and have known these markers for so very long. I love studying about festivals based on the seasons. All the different meanings people come up with to create a back story. They are wonderful examples of humanity's creativity. And those costumes are fabulous and different everywhere.

@@wendysinclair-smith984 Easter is never on the same date each year either. Carnival always ends the Sunday before Ash Wednesday and starts 4 Sundays before Ash Wednesday. Carnival is solely a Christian European holiday and Catholic. the festive season turned into the summer carnival in the U.S and in the Caribbean and Brazil acquired African influences from different African cultures. Carnival is not African in any sense. it’s only influenced by it in places where Africans were enslaved. in Europe Carnival exists in its pure traditional form and each country has developed its own cultural twists and carnival festivities differ from region to region across western and central Europe.

You are partially true but Christians are Not Roman Catholic! The True Gospel of Jesus Christ is by grace through faith alone.

[@nariko47]

Catholics ARE Christian though.

Truth is never out of date. Jeremy, you are right! The Inquisitions were about hunting down the Christians, as the Catholics would call them. Now the Catholics call themselves Christian. Truth has always been on trial.
