since it depends on the liturgical
calendar and can be celebrated in

on the Friday before Ash Wednesday and
lasts for several days, culminating on
Shrove Tuesday. The exact date changes
each year, as it is based on Holy Week
and the Lent period.

WHERE IS IT CELEBRATED?

The Rio de Janeiro Carnival is celebrated


in the Sambódromo, Marques de
Sapucaí, which was designed by
architect Oscar Niemeyer. Samba
schools, which are organized according
to their history, perform in Samba
parades.
Traditions

Carnival is a secular celebration that


welcomes religious deprivation. It is a
tradition that finds its first origin in ancient
Rome, where this festival had the objective
of welcoming spring.

These Roman traditions survived and became


famous in Renaissance European culture. They
were part of the celebrations that took place in
some ballroom dances, where clothing, masks
or costumes were used and where people from
all social classes could often be confused.
These forms of celebration came to America
through the conquest.
