* * *der Karnevalcarnival* * *Karneval is the time between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday, which is also known as the fünfte Jahreszeit (fifth season). Among the traditional events are masked balls, and meetings where people make humorous speeches and sing carnival songs. On the so-called tolle Tage ("crazy days") normal life in many regions is turned completely upside down. During the tolle Tage power is symbolically assumed in many towns by a carnival prince and princess. This is especially so in Rheinland, where Karneval has been celebrated in its present form since 1823. Rosenmontag is generally a holiday in this region, so that people can watch the processions and join in the celebrations. In Southern Germany and Austria the carnival period is called Fasching and the processions take place on Shrove Tuesday.

This is a grotesque funeral parade in which the symbolic cardboard figure of a sardine is marched through the streets and finally ceremonially burnt or buried.* * *•• Cultural note:The three days of festivities preceding Lent, characterized by costumes, masks, drinking, music, and dancing.

* * *carnaval nm1. [fiesta] carnival2. Rel ShrovetideCARNAVALThe tradition of Carnaval, or Carnavales, continues in many parts of Spain and Latin America. The festival usually lasts between three days and a week, just before the beginning of Lent. In country areas the festivals are closely related to fertility rites, while in towns and cities they are more in the nature of spectacles and popular celebrations. The best-known carnivals in Spain are those of Cádiz and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and in Mexico that of Veracruz. In Spain carnivals end with the “burial of the sardine”, an ancient rite symbolizing the burial of worldly frivolity, on the Tuesday before the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday.* * *m carnival* * *carnaval nm: carnival* * *carnaval n carnival -

This is largely because of the importance of such celebrations in the Spanish-speaking world. Every town or village, of whatever size, has its day (if not week) of annual celebrations. These may be associated with the local patron saint or with some historical event, such as Independence Day. On these days people may dress up in traditional clothes, take part in traditional dances and eat special dishes associated with the festival. There may be firework displays and street processions of a more or less religious nature, and, as the saying goes, a good time is generally had by all.* * *f1 festival;estar de fiesta be in a party mood;no estar para fiestas be in no mood for jokes;¡se acabó la fiesta! the party’s over!hacer fiesta have a day off* * *fiesta nf1) : party, fiesta2) : holiday, feast day* * *fiesta n2.

12 carnevale sm
[karne'vale]See:Cultural note: Carnevale Carnevale is the name given to the period between Epiphany (6 January) and the beginning of Lent, when people throw parties, put on processions with spectacular floats, build bonfires in the "piazze" and dress up infabulous costumes and masks. Building to a peak just before Lent, Carnevale culminates in the festivities of Martedì grasso (Shrove Tuesday). The most famous are the Carnevale di Viareggio with its parade of allegorical floats and the Carnevale di Venezia with open-air shows and balls in the city's squares. -
