Let's turn to the history of the origin of this strange and attractive festive event. And the history of the Brazilian carnival began not even in Brazil, but many thousands of kilometers from there and many centuries ago. The tradition of such celebrations with dances and libations dates back to the Greek god of winemaking Dionysus (Roman version – Bacchus) and festivals in his honor with songs, performances and dances. The Romans remade the Greek custom for themselves, calling it saturnalia, when it was customary to wear masks, change clothes (patricians changed their togas for nondescript chiton slaves during the celebrations) and drink a lot (of course, not water). Later, after the strengthening of Christianity, the church realized that it was at least unreasonable to ban such holidays and it would not lead to an increase in the number of followers, so a reasonable decision was made to coincide the carnival with the last day before lent and, accordingly, to re-form the ideology of the holiday. As a result, the people celebrate, and the church's flock grows. And the tradition of carnivals was brought to Brazil by European colonialists. Carnivals have taken root on a new soil, combined with local holidays and ritual dances, and the result of this fusion of traditions has become a modern carnival in Rio de Janeiro. For Brazilians, carnival is a celebration of the national dance – samba. And many dance schools prepare special programs, work out costumes, themes, in a word, everything in order not only to be no worse than others at this celebration of life, but on the contrary, to demonstrate the highest class of samba at this carnival. Local craftsmen build such platforms and decorations that the whole world admires their creations, and tourists remember this unusual procession for a long time and tell their compatriots about it.
