狂欢节简介
狂欢节（Carnival），世界上不少国家都有狂欢节。 这个节日起源于欧洲的中世纪。古希腊和古罗马的 木神节、酒神节都可以说是其前身。有些地区还把它 称之为谢肉节和忏悔节。该节日曾与复活节有密切关系。 复活节前有一个为期40天的大斋期，即四旬斋（lent）。 斋期里，人们禁止娱乐，禁食肉食，反省、忏悔以纪念 复活节前3天遭难的耶稣，生活肃穆沉闷，于是在斋期 开始的前3天里，人们会专门举行宴会、舞会、游行， 纵 情欢乐，故有“狂欢节”之说。如今已没有多少人坚守 大斋期之类的清规戒律，但传统的狂欢活动却保留了 下来，成为人们抒发对幸福和自由向往之情的重要节日。

两千多年前，欧洲的天主教会把１１月１日定为“天下 圣徒之日” (ALL HALLOWS DAY) 。“HALLOW” 即圣徒 之意。传说自公元前五百年，居住在爱尔兰、苏格兰等地 的凯尔特人 (CELTS) 把这节日往前移了一天，即１０月３ １日。他们认为该日是夏天正式结束的日子，也就是新年 伊始，严酷的冬季开始的一天。那时人们相信，故人的亡 魂会在这一天回到故居地在活人身上找寻生灵，借此再生， 而且这是人在死后能获得再生的唯一希望。而活着的人则 惧怕死魂来夺生，于是人们就在这一天熄掉炉火、烛光， 让死魂无法找寻活人，又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪把死人之 魂灵吓走。之后，他们又会把火种烛光重新燃起，开始新 的一年的生活。传说那时凯尔特人部落还有在１０月３１ 日把活人杀死用以祭奠死人的习俗。
