| Description: | The Carnival festivities end up with the Funeral of the Mask, (a parody of funeral). The corpse, is the Carnival King, and many mourning "relatives" follow the procession. The whole spectacle is hilarious. | | hits: | 170 | | Added on: | 28-Aug-2002 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Description: |
Many foreigners in Greece seem to think they invented the drunken, riotous celebration, forgetting that Greece is the home of Dionysus, the god of wine. A trip to more "Greek" areas shows that his legacy is in no danger of dying out. At country fairs and patron saint festivals, piety is mixed with pleasure in rituals that descend pre-Christian days, when gods were honored with feasting, dancing and orgies (even today, Greek villages typically experience mini baby booms nine months after a big feast day!). These festivals are great occasions to find villages with their tourist traps disarmed, ready to welcome visitors into the infectious celebrations. Wine and beans are doled out, bandstands are set up in front of churches and the old ways come alive through music, dancing and other rituals. Many of these festivals take place at the very ruins where the original rituals began; what better way to experience the culture and the architecture than at an out of control festival!

Masken - L?tschental - Fasnacht - Tsch?gg?tt? - Mythos
"Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass viele junge M?nner heute ausw?rts und ganztags arbeiten, hat sich der Brauch insofern ver?ndert, als dass sich die M?nner (heute auch die verheirateten und manchmal auch Frauen) vornehmlich Abends (nach Feierabend) verkleiden, w?hrend man am Tage oft kleinere Tsch?gg?tt? (Kinder) sieht. Im Umgang mit den Opfern (Jeder und jedermann) verh?lt man sich heutzutage auch (meistens) etwas gesitteter. "

| Description: | Tradition demands it that giants should be carried by men who should slip into the osier bulk so that the first can dance. Yet, the carrying of giants has been in the past few years more and more subsidised by more convenient facilities (giants on wheels, on floats, on platforms, ?).
A giant that is not carried cannot dance, and thus, it is not alive! | | hits: | 146 | | Added on: | 08-Nov-2002 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Description: | Very nice informative site with great photos of these spectacular masktraditions.
Mardi Gras in rural Southwestern Louisiana draws on traditions that are centuries old. Revelers go from house to house begging to obtain the ingredients for a communal meal. They wear costumes that conceal their identity and that also parody the roles of those in authority. They escape from ordinary life partly through the alcohol many consume in their festive quest, but even more through the roles they portray. As they act out their parts in a wild, gaudy pageant, they are escaping from routine existence, freed from the restraints that confine them every other day in the year.
These traditions, folklorists say, go back at least as far as medieval times. The human impulse that underlies Mardi Gras has not diminished today, even if some of the traditions lapsed for decades and even if one factor in their revival by subsequent generations was a desire to enhance tourism. Anyone who has seen the procession of Mardi Gras riders brightly costumed in myriad colors advancing across the drab late-winter countryside is also likely to be swept up in the timeless moment: in rural Acadiana, Mardi Gras lives as much today as it did in centuries past.
