The wonderful Brazilian Carnival, celebrated as a profane event, is held forty days before Easter and represents the beginning of Lent. It is in fact an act of farewell to the pleasures of the flesh for the period of Lent. Although the carnival is held in many cities of the country, Rio de Janeiro is regarded as the Carnival Capital of the World, a place of entertainment and culture.

    The brazilian carnival as it happens today is definitely NOT a profane celebration. Carnivals as a whole started as a profane celebration, but that was a looong time ago. =)
