ORIGIN OF THE CELEBRATION
1. According to historians, carnival may have started in Babylon, through Sacean
celebrations.

2. The word carnival derives from the Latin, carnis levale which means "to remove
the flesh". It received this name in an attempt by the church to seize and re-
signify the pagan festival, as it is celebrated at a time close to Lent.

3. In Brazil, carnival began with the “entrudo'', a Portuguese tradition that


consisted of throwing water, flour, eggs and paints at people, and the music of
indigenous and African drums mixed with some Portuguese rhythms.
