Mardi Grass Event at Villa del Palmar Cancun
One of the most memorable celebrations in Brazil, Venice, and New Orleans occurred in Cancun, Mexico. On February 21st, all guests and members staying at Villa del Palmar Cancun enjoyed a party commemorating Mardi Gras. Read on to find out all the details of the event.
First things first, what is Mardi Gras?
Mardi Gras, commonly described as a carnival, is a celebration that started in Saturnalia and Lupercalia that commemorated pagan spring and fertility rites. The ritual changed with the arrival of Christianity to Rome when religious leaders decided to incorporate local traditions with the new faith. This resulted in a prelude to Lent, the 40 days of fasting and penance between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, and what is known today as Mardi Grass.
The Mardi Grass celebration has survived and is celebrated in different ways around the globe, but almost all of them include the traditional carnival. Brazil holds a week-long festival. Quebec hosts the giant Quebec Winter Carnival, and Italy has the Venice Carnevale, famous for bringing some of the best masquerade balls to life.
