The Importance Of Carnival In Brazil

▶ The #Brazilian #Carnival is celebrated every year during the four days before Lent before Easter. The fast, which begins on the first Wednesday of the pre-Easter Lent, is seen by #Christians around the world as a forty-day period of repentance and abstinence. This is a time to renounce worldly pleasures such as meat, alcohol, and chocolate. It represents the time #Jesus spent in the desert, suffering terribly.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CARNIVAL IN #BRAZIL

Today, fasting before Easter is a religious discipline and a time of communication with God. It concludes with the last week of solemn calm and concludes with the celebration of Easter, the day when Jesus is said to have ascended into heaven. The abundance and celebration associated with the Brazilian Carnival can be seen as the last big party before the six-week long sacrifice. This was perhaps not what the Church had in mind when it was first created, but nonetheless, it has evolved into what it is today – a crazy insane event of gigantic proportions.

SO WHEN IS EASTER?

Brazilian Carnival dates are entirely dependent on the Church’s calendar. The dates are fixed based on the date set by the Church for Easter, Pre-Easter Lent, and the first Wednesday of Pre-Easter Lent. The current date of Easter is determined by the month and therefore changes every year. It always falls between March 22 and April 25. Historically, Easter must be the first #Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox. Since astronauts could not predict the exact dates of all future full moons, the Nicene #Council decided in 325 BC to devise a formula that would calculate approximate lunar dates. This would allow the church to create a calendar for all the years to come and avoid confusion on the matter. The formula has always remained the same except for one minor change in AD 1583. Based on the Church’s Tables, the full moon is called the Easter Month and usually deviates by 2-3 days from the actual full moon. After all, the date of Easter is set to be the first Sunday after the Easter full moon, and the Brazilian Carnival takes its dates from this formula.
