5 a_hankell@yahoo.com4 In Mexico, Carnaval is an official Mexican holiday that kicks off a five-day celebration of the libido before the Catholic lent begins on Ash Wednesday. Beginning the weekend before Lent, Carnaval is celebrated exuberantly with parades, floats, costumes, music and dancing in the streets. Carnaval is equivalent to Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

7 6 LIBIDO - li·bi·do Pronunciation: l&-'bE-(")dO also 'li-b&-"dO Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -dos Etymology: New Latin libidin-, libido, from Latin, desire, lust, from libEre to please 1 : instinctual psychic energy that in psychoanalytic theory is derived from primitive biological urges (as for sexual pleasure or self-preservation) and that is expressed in conscious activity 2 : sexual drive

8 a_hankell@yahoo.com7

9 8 The festival of Carnaval is celebrated as a last indulgence of carnal pleasures that Catholics must give up for 40 days of fasting during Lent, from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. In fact, the word Carnaval is derived from Latin, meaning take away or goodbye to flesh, and strict Catholics will give up meat eating during Lent.

10 a_hankell@yahoo.com9

11 10 Carnaval is officially celebrated for 5 days, leading up to Ash Wednesday, with the most vigorous celebration taking place over the one weekend in Mexico. The wearing of masks during Carnaval is said to be a pagan practice as protection from evil spirits, but most likely evolved as a way to participate fully in the celebration with some anonymity.

12 a_hankell@yahoo.com11

13 a_hankell@yahoo.com12 During Carnaval, everyone participates in the many events and activities that make up the celebration. Wherever Carnaval is celebrated the whole town parties during the day and into the night, dressed in their masquerade outfits, enjoying food and drink and liquor.

14 a_hankell@yahoo.com13

15 a_hankell@yahoo.com14 People of all ages throw and break cascarones, confetti filled eggshells, over each other. There are many booths that offer food, drinks, snacks and games and crafts of every type. Music of all sorts is played non-stop, by live bands, DJs or the boom box.

16 a_hankell@yahoo.com15

17 a_hankell@yahoo.com16 Some Carnavals also have a collection of rides like those found at an amusement park. Depending on the town, there may be many organized parties, outdoor festivals and masquerade balls. Many of these types of events charge an entrance fee, or may be entirely private. Mazatlan hosts a public street fair and dance for a small admission, as well as on offshore fireworks display that commemorates an old naval battle.

18 a_hankell@yahoo.com17

19 a_hankell@yahoo.com18 During the final days, many different events present awards, one for the Flower Queen, and literary awards to those who have written the best Flowery Poem. In Mazatlán, a prestigious national award is presented for the best unpublished literary work from anywhere in Mexico, called the Clemencia Isaura Poetry award.

20 a_hankell@yahoo.com19

21 a_hankell@yahoo.com20 In the evenings there are fireworks displays including the traditional castillo, or castle, a large fireworks platform unique to Mexico. Even the kids get to stay out until late to take part and enjoy the festivities. On Saturday evening, there is the coronation of the Carnaval Queen and the humorous El Rey Feo, or Ugly King.

22 a_hankell@yahoo.com21

23 a_hankell@yahoo.com22 There will also be the burning of an effigy, usually someone unpopular at the time, known as the Quema de Mal Humor or Burning of Bad Humor.

24 a_hankell@yahoo.com23

25 a_hankell@yahoo.com24 Sunday is the biggest organized celebration of the weekend, and typically includes the big float parade, and lots of musicians playing on stages and dancing in the streets.

26 a_hankell@yahoo.com25

27 a_hankell@yahoo.com26 When Monday arrives, there is El Día del Marido Oprimido, or the Day of the Oppressed Husband. On this one day, for 23.5 hours, husbands have the freedom to do as they wish... within the law and religious faith of course.

28 a_hankell@yahoo.com27

29 a_hankell@yahoo.com28 By the time Fat Tuesday rolls around, many people have to get back to work, and just about everyone has had their fill of revelry and indulgence, ready to accept the restrictions of Lent.

30 a_hankell@yahoo.com29

31 a_hankell@yahoo.com30 What does Mardi Gras celebrate?

32 a_hankell@yahoo.com31

33 a_hankell@yahoo.com32 Considering the raucous nature of Mardi Gras, you might be surprised to learn that the festival has religious roots. Festivities start in New Orleans each year on January 6, the Twelfth Night feast of the Epiphany -- the day, tradition has it, that the three kings first visited Jesus Christ.

34 a_hankell@yahoo.com33

35 a_hankell@yahoo.com34

36 a_hankell@yahoo.com35 Mardi Gras, French for Fat Tuesday, is the day-long highlight of the season. While Mardi Gras most certainly has pagan, pre- Christian origins, the Roman Catholic Church legitimized the festival as a brief celebration before the penitential season of Lent. Mardi Gras Day, a legal holiday in New Orleans, is set to occur 46 days (the 40 days of Lent plus six Sundays) before Easter and can come as early as February 3 or as late as March 9.

41 a_hankell@yahoo.com40 Mardi Gras is not new. There is evidence that it was being celebrated in New Orleans as early as the 18th century. Mardi Gras was first mentioned in North America in 1699 in the writings of French explorer Pierre le Moyne, Sieur d'Iberville, who camped on the Mississippi River about 50 miles south of the present location of New Orleans. Knowing that the date, March 3, was being celebrated as a holiday in his native France, he christened the site Point du Mardi Gras.

42 a_hankell@yahoo.com41

43 a_hankell@yahoo.com42 During the next century, the celebration of Mardi Gras included private masked balls and random street maskings in the cities of Mobile, Alabama and New Orleans. By the 1820s, maskers on foot and in decorated carriages began to appear on Fat Tuesday, and in 1837 the first documented procession in New Orleans occurred, but it bore no resemblance to today's carnival.

45 a_hankell@yahoo.com44 Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday and Lent

46 a_hankell@yahoo.com45

47 a_hankell@yahoo.com46 If you live outside the UK, you probably haven't heard of Shrove Tuesday. But you probably know it by its other name, Mardi Gras. Pancakes were originally eaten on Shrove Tuesday -- the Tuesday before Lent -- to use up eggs and fat before the fast of Lent.

48 a_hankell@yahoo.com47

49 a_hankell@yahoo.com48 Today, these pancakes are generally made of eggs, milk and flour. The word "shrove" comes from "shrive," meaning "the confessions of sins" -- something done in preparation for Lent.

50 a_hankell@yahoo.com49

51 a_hankell@yahoo.com50 Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting that gets its name from the practice of sprinkling ashes over those engaging in the fast of Lent. Has anyone ever apologized to you by saying, "Let me put on my ashes and sackcloth..."? This is where that saying originated. Those wishing to receive the sacrament of penance were known as "penitents."

52 a_hankell@yahoo.com51

53 a_hankell@yahoo.com52 They wore sackcloth and were required to remain apart from the Christian community until Maundy Thursday. This practice fell into disuse during the eighth, ninth and 10th centuries, when the beginning of Lent was symbolized by placing ashes on the heads of the entire congregation.

54 a_hankell@yahoo.com53

55 a_hankell@yahoo.com54 Today, some Christians have a cross put on their forehead in ashes. The ashes are usually made from the previous year's blessed palm fronds from Palm Sunday, and are usually wet with holy water before being used.

56 a_hankell@yahoo.com55

57 a_hankell@yahoo.com56 The name Lent comes from the Middle English lenten, meaning "spring." Lent signifies 40 days of fasting in order to imitate the fast of Jesus Christ after his baptism (the Epiphany). Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, 46 days before Easter Sunday, when it ends.
