Where Carnival comes from
The revelry before Lent has roots in the Roman Saturnalia and the Portuguese entrudo. Fat Tuesday falls 47 days before Easter; Rio's samba school parade, created in 1932, became the largest open air show on the planet. In Brazil it is an optional day off, not a national holiday.
