Carnival


Ethnologists ascribe different, and more or less old, origins to Carnival. They refer that some of its elements show some permissiveness by the Catholic Church in the period before the liturgical formalities of the Lenten season.

Os etnólogos atribuem ao Carnaval origens diversas e mais ou menos antigas. Indicam que alguns dos seus elementos evidenciam certa permissividade por parte da Igreja Católica no período que antecede as formalidades litúrgicas da Quaresma.
