A mix of writing-practice and carnival.

Answer everything in English.
Mind your spelling and grammar.

First...why do we celebrate carnival ?

Why do we celebrate carnival?

Carnival is a Catholic festival that happens over 3 days, usually just before Lent, in February or March.  Lent is a 40 day season of prayer and fasting that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Thursday. 

Because traditionally many people go on a fast during Lent, giving up meat, sugar or other foods and drink; carnival is an opportunity to enjoy these treats for the last time.

Carnival is celebrated in many Catholic countries all over the world.

This is also the reason why carnaval is only celebrated in the Catholic South of the Netherlands (NBrabant and Limburg)

hier leg ik uit dat carnaval/vastelaovend de avond voor het vasten is. Voor de 40 dagen vasten gaan de Katholieken nog 1 keer een feestje vieren. Ik vraag dan ook wat er 40 dagen later gevierd wordt (Easter). Dit is het belangrijkste feest in de Katholieke kerk.  En omdat die Katholieken wel van feestjes houden vieren ze op zo-ma-di voor Aswoensdag dus Vastelaovend. 

A little quiz...

When does the so called 'fifth season' start?

1. November 1st
2. November 11th
3. January 1st
4. 11 days before carnival

What does 'Carnival' actually mean?

1. farewell to alcohol
2. farewell friends
3. farewell work
4. farewell to meat

laat de student maar raden.

carne= vlees

vale = afscheid

40 dagen geen vlees eten dus.

What is the name of the American version of Carnival, mainly celebrated in New Orleans?

1. Carnavali
2. Fest evening
3. Mardi Gras
4. DressUptotheMax

leg maar uit dat op zn frans:

Mardi = dinsdag

Gras = vet

vette dinsdag/ Fat Tuesday, de laatste dag feesten voor het vasten

When does carnival officially end?

1. on Tuesday, when prince Carnival says so
2. on Wednesdaymorning
3. at 11.11 pm on Tuesday
4. on Tuesday at midnight

What is that thing called, that the Prince is holding during the ceremonies?

1. sceptre
2. totempole
3. princestick
4. wavingcane

What do we celebrate 40 days after carnival?

1. Easter
2. Pentecost
3. Kings day
4. Christmas

daarom vieren we ook ieder jaar carnaval op een andere dag. er wordt teruggeteld vanuit Pasen. En je kunt google vragen wanneer Pasen gevierd wordt; dat heeft te maken met de lente en volle maan.
