Carnaval.
Winter slowly makes place for the first signs of spring. The first little small crocusses showing.
In the old days celebrated with enthousiasm.
It was shown that life was returned, so the next season new food would grow.
Christianity jumped on it and made carnaval the last huge weekend of partying before starting a time of 40 days of sober living and for some even starvation.
At a later stage I'll write about the tradition of masks. For now I invite you to join me in a mask swap.
I've made an outline, and probably some other outlines will follow. You'll find my mask and the outline (s) at the downloadpage.
Please send me yours or let me know you have one to download at your site.
Happy swapping!!
