Where did the word “carnival” come from?
The followers of the Catholic religion in Italy started the tradition of holding a festival right before the first day of Lent. Catholics called it carnevale — which means “to put away the meat.”
The word Fasching dates back to the 13th century and is derived from the Germanic word vaschanc or vaschang, in modern German: Fastenschank = the last serving of alcoholic beverages before Lent.

• Some of the best-known traditions were first recorded in medieval Italy. The carnival of Venice was for a long time the most famous carnival.
