_{ORIGEM DO CARNAVAL

Dez mil anos antes de Cristo, homens, mulheres e crianças se reuniam no verão com os rostos mascarados e os corpos pintados para espantar os demônios da má colheita. As origens do carnaval têm sido buscadas nas mais antigas celebrações da humanidade, tais como as Festas Egípcias que homenageavam a deusa Isis e ao Touro Apis. Os gregos festejavam com grandiosidade nas Festas Lupercais e Saturnais a celebração da volta da primavera, que simbolizava o Renascer da Natureza. Mas num ponto todos concordavam, as grandes festas como o carnaval estão associadas a fenômenos astronômicos e a ciclos naturais. O carnaval se caracteriza por festas, divertimentos públicos, bailes de máscaras e manifestações folclóricas. Na Europa, os mais famosos carnavais foram ou são: os de Paris, Veneza, Munique e Roma, seguidos de Nápoles, Florença e Nice.
