Why carnival is celebrated?

The Carnival is a celebration with a rich history that dates back to ancient Rome. It was a time for feasting and revelry, and it spread throughout the Roman Empire into different parts of Europe, where different cultures adapted it.

Carnival was also a time for social and political commentary in the Middle Ages.

In the Americas, Carnival became a celebration of African culture and a symbol of resistance against slavery and oppression.

Today, Carnival is celebrated worldwide, including Rio de Janeiro, Venice, New Orleans, and Trinidad and Tobago.
