カーニバルとは「謝肉祭」とも呼ばれ、イースター(復活祭)へ向けて禁欲期間へ入る前に飲めや歌えやの大騒ぎをして「食べ収め」をするという習俗に基づくキリスト教圏のお祭りです。
Carnival is known as a "Thanksgiving to Meat" festival. As Easter approaches, Christians traditionally enter a period of fasting. Carnival is a period in which to eat a lot and really enjoy yourself, before entering your period of fasting. That is the custom upon which Carnival is based--it was a traditional event in Christian countries.
