Isn't carnaval related to religion?

no supreme god, we believe in the balance of nature and its watchful spirits[/b]

Everyone their own opinion. Discussing on it will be an endless discussion.

but, well, this is not a religion thread, and i know for experience that religion is a flame paradise
[/b]

Most of the time it is. I've seen (more) successful religion threads. =)

 

[Undead_Lives]

Please...no religion.
And I really don't think religion is tied into carnivals Flad. Nice try though.

 

[Werewulf]

tathy? i dont know..i think i made it up..

[Undead_Lives]

No, seriously. It really isn't related? Then what is the original source of carnival?

 

[Undead_Lives]

Wasn't the original carnivals just a gathering in towns to do some fun stuff? Or maybe to celebrate something?

 

[Fladian]

Celebrating would be most likely, but when I think of a more asian carnaval, I think more of celebrating something of a religion. But truth to be know I know very little about carnavals. It just doesn't live much here.

 

[Undead_Lives]

Ya, I don't know much about them either...I was trying to look at what a carnival would be like in medieval times..

 

[Fladian]

Raiju, would you happen to know more about carnavals in that case? It looks like that Undead and I are stuck here.

 

[Undead_Lives]

Hehe, actually when I was thinking of carnivals, I was kinda reminded by Lord of the Rings..
You know, Bilbo's Birthday.

 

[Fladian]

*scratches the back of his head*
Nope, sorry, can't recall.

I was thinking more of the asian part, like I mentioned before. Though I honestly think that is where it all started. But like I also mentioned, I don't know enough about carnavals to go dragging facts out here.

the roots are pagan, but were mixed with catolicism

Wrong again igloo! xD

Undead, at least Tamaulipas' carnival has nothing like bilbo B-day...

Ok, due to the increased number of questions and incorrect answers (xD) im going to discurse about this (ok, im getting a little too proud of myself)

Keep in mind that carnival has its roots long time ago, longer even than the Aztec civilizaton (altough it has a big influence of it)
Resuming, carnival is a 5-day monstruous party that comemorates, in each day, joy, libido, prosperity, worshipness and blood
We have MANY attractions in our carnival, too many that wont even list all of them, for example, we have the "Evening of the Opressed Husband" and "The Night of the Beauty Queen" and "Dawn of the Bloody Sun". and there it goes, in each of the 5 days, we have a certain period dedicated to something

As you can guess, in each day we comemorate more intensely the "intentions" of the day, like Joy, its a day totally dedicated to fun, Libido, totally dedicated to sex and sensual dances, Prosperity, to the ever-growth economy, the success of the plantations and hunting. Worshipness, dedicated to both God and the old pagan gods, Blood, to the "sacredness" of our family and the promise of furious retaliation against our enemies

Its tradition of our carnival to wear masks in certain days, these masks are artesanal and represent your dedication (they are hand-maded by yourself, but we sell them to tourists)
In certain days we also have many musical attractions (for me, the best part of the carnival)
And in the final days we have a great display of fireworks

Altough a 5-day celebration, we began to mobilize ourselves in the "carnival climax" a lot of tiem before, as i mentioned before we had a week of "pre-carnival" from 1-7 february, In fact, carnival truly consumes the whole month, until it ends in the catolic holiday "Ash Wednesday"

Note that the carnival celebrations vary from your location, port-cities (like mine) are diferent than the capital's, jungle's and desert's celebrations

So, if you want, music, religious and historical celebrations, many fun with a lot of girls ready for the taking, dont hesitate coming here =]

ok, my brilliant moment is over xD

 

[Undead_Lives]

Meh, skip out on the religious stuff and gimme good food and tons of girls, and I'll definitely come
