~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CARNIVAL <> MARDI GRAS convey ideas entangled with
LUPERCALIA
SATURNALIA and
EASTRE leading to
EASTER RAMADAN PASCH PASSOVER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CARNIVAL relates to CARNE LEVARE
(leave and carnal pleasures) or
CARNE VALE (leave levity flesh) or
MARDI GRAS (Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday)
These festivities convey ideas of
erotica and unusual license with
mocking and carnal liberties -
culminating on
SHROVE TUESDAY to be followed by
LENT or in Spanish
CUARESMA or forty days of
PURIFICATION even FASTING
which fits the ideas in
FEBRUARY which stands as the month of
PURIFICATION or in Christian terms
a period to prepare for
EASTER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LUPERCALIA (Lupa = she wolf, bitch)
is a spring feast honoring
PAN and
LUPERCUS as fertility Deities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SATURNALIA is a forerunner of CHRISTMAS,
it was the merriest Roman festival held
December 17 to 23
ALL WORK WAS STOPPED
CRIMINALS COULD NOT BE PUNISHED
SLAVES WERE GIVEN FREEDOM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MOMUS is the King of Carnival
and acted as a
MIMIC who
MOCKED everything
He set the tone to Carnival.
MOMUS was the son of
CHAOS and
NYX or
NIGHT and the sib of
NEMESIS
NECESITAS and
THANATOS (Death) which are elements
abundantly present during Carnival.
In any case, many people view
CARNIVAL as a MOMIC MOLESTATION.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carnival ends after
SHROVE TUESDAY or FAT TUESDAY or MARDI GRAS
calculated on the basis of the first full moon after
VERNAL EQUINOX as a mark to fix the time for
EASTER PASCH RAMADAN - a schema adopted by
Christians after the Council of Nicaea of 325 AD
to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Concerted efforts to erase tenacious Pagan
traditions have somewhat failed - Saturnalia,
Lupercalia plus
EASTRE or EOSTRA
a Spring feast for resurging life survive in
EASTER
Lupercalia survives as St. Valentine's day
EASTRE or EOSTRA (Estrogen) the spring festival
for resurging life survives in
EASTER as a mark of the resurrection of Jesus Christ
