Carnival(狂欢节) is one of the most important national holidays in Brazil. It is not held to celebrate a big historical event, but it is a time of friendship and freedom (自由) . Besides this, it’s also a time when Brazilians don’t have to work. People can choose to hold parties or just have a good rest instead. Most people hold parties, day after day, night after night. There is a forty-day period called Lent(四月斋) before Easter. During that period . Christians( 基督教徒) can’t eat meat or take part in any activities.
Carnival is held during the four days before the start of Lent. People put on their holiday clothes and go out to enjoy themselves .Also, some dance schools often hold activities to show their dance.
