    The Magic of Mardi Gras in North Europe in the 19th Century:

     

    Mardi Gras marks the end of the seven fat days before Lent, a period of fasting and reflection in the Christian tradition. It is an opportunity to dress up, sing, dance, and parade in the streets before the start of Lent.

     

    In Russia, Maslenitsa, the Mardi Gras celebrations, include costumes and festivities before the beginning of Orthodox Lent.

     

    In Germany, Karneval is very popular in the southern regions, with parades and festivities starting on the Thursday before Mardi Gras.

     

    Mardi Gras is often associated with festive practices such as parades, costumes, and treats. It is a time when the rules of everyday life are set aside, allowing for a form of release before Lent.

     

    These celebrations show how Mardi Gras is a festival that transcends borders, blending local traditions and historical influences to create moments of joy and conviviality before the start of Lent.
