German Carnival has come nearer.
The 28th of February will be "Rosen-Montag" = Rose Monday.

For me it would depend on the type of carnival or festival and what sort of things are being promoted. I think revelling and being wild for Christians is not a good thing, I'm sure others would say different.

Peace be to all those in the Body of Christ.

German Carnival is a many-splendoured thing.
There is Karneval and Fasching and Fasnacht.

This Thursday will be a special Thursday: The "Schmotzige Donnerstag" - meaning "Fat Thursday".
Because auf the fat where the pancakes are cooked in.
The name "Mardi Gras" comes from a similar custom.

Today is Ash Wednesday.

So you think that the Carnival is over?

Not quite.


Next Monday it will start again in a certain city in Switzerland:


Basel (/ˈbɑːzəl/ BAH-zəl, German: [ˈbaːzl̩] ( listen)) or Basle (/bɑːl/ BAHL; French: Bâle [bɑl]; Italian: Basilea [baziˈlɛːa]; Romansh: Basilea [baziˈleːɐ] ( listen)) is a city in northwestern Switzerland on the river Rhine, located on the borders with France and Germany. Basel is Switzerland's third-most-populous city (after Zürich and Geneva) with about 175,000 inhabitants.[4] The official language of Basel is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, but the main spoken language is the local Basel German dialect.
