Description

In New Orleans they call it Mardi Gras, what here in Holland is called the Carnaval. It comes from Italian “carnem levare” and means the taking away from the flesh. It came up around the 11th and the 12th century where people could fill there belly. with meat and drinks before they started the abstention before the days to Easter. The church did not agree at first and people worn masks to make them foolish. That is why the church made in the 16th century a twist to accept it as their own. Pieter Bruegel a famous Dutch painter made a picture where he shows it around 1559.
