Carnival(狂欢节) is one of the most important national holidays in Brazil. It is not held to celebrate a big historical event, but it is a time of friendship and freedom(自由). Besides this, it's also a time when Brazilians don't have to work. People can choose to hold parties or just have a good rest instead. Most people hold parties, day after day, night after night. There is a forty-day period called Lent(大斋期) before Easter. During that period, Christians(基督教徒) can't eat meat or take part in any activities.
