The etymology of the word carnival is still much debated: it could derive from Carna-aval or carnival (an invitation not to eat meat), or, from Carnal (Roman feasts in honor of Saturn), or levamen meat-or-expression medieval carnem laxare (ie do fasting, abstinence). Certainly the origins of this feast are religious. We learn from historical evidence, that the masks were used by humans since the Paleolithic Age, when the sorcerers during magical and propitiatory rites, wore costumes adorned with feathers and rattles and taking terrifying with painted masks, in order to ward off evil spirits. But it is mainly in the Roman world, where parties are held in honor of the gods, we can find the origins of our Carnival. But it is mainly in the Roman world, where parties are held in honor of the gods, we can find the origins of our Carnival. In ancient Rome the festivities in honor of Bacchus, called Bacchanalia, were held along the streets of the city and already provided the use of masks, including the rivers of wine and dancing events. Was famous, too, the feast of Ceres and Proserpine, which took place at night, in which old and young, nobles and commoners joined in the rhythm of the festivities.

During the Saturnalia became more most important cause in fact lasted only three days, then seven, until, in the imperial era, were taken at fifteen. For the Saturnalia joined the Opalia, in honor of the goddess Ope wife of Saturn, and Sigillaria, in honor of Janus and Strenia.

Fat Thursday (2011-03-08)
Fat Thursday (German Fetter Donnerstag, Schmotziger Donnerstag, or in areas where carnival is celebrated Weiberfastnacht, Polish Tłusty czwartek) is a traditional Polish and German feast marking the last Thursday before Lent and is associated with the celebration of Carnival. Because Lent is a time of fasting, the next opportunity to feast would not be until Easter.
It is similar to, but should not be confused with, the French festival of Mardi Gras ("Fat Tuesday"). Traditionally it is a day dedicated to eating, when people meet in their homes or cafés with their friends and relatives and eat large quantities of sweets, cakes and other meals forbidden during Lent. Among the most popular all-national dishes served on that day are pączki or berliner, fist-sized donuts filled with rose marmalade, and faworki, French dough fingers served with lots of powdered sugar.In Italy, Giovedì Grasso (Fat Thursday) is also celebrated, but it is not very different from Martedì Grasso (Shrove Tuesday). It is also similar to the Greek custom of Tsiknopempti (loosely translatable as "Barbecue Thursday"), which involves the massive consumption of charred meat in the evening of Thursday, ten days before the beginning of the Great Lent. In Spain this celebration is called jueves lardero, and in Catalan-speaking areas, dijous gras."Bizcochos" and "mona" on Fat Thursday in Albacete, SpainIn Albacete in central Spain, Jueves Lardero is celebrated with a square pastry called a bizcocho (see also Bizcocho (disambiguation)) and a round pastry called a mona........
