Rosenmontag, Rose Monday, the Monday before Lent, this day is celebrated all over Germany. There are carnivals***, most famously in Mainz and Koeln.
Faschingsdienstag, also called Fastnacht, Carnival Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday, is the day before Lent.
Aschermittwoch, Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, is also the seventh Wednesday before Easter. On this day, Catholics use holy ash to draw a mark on their forehead as a sign of repentance and death. Marks the forty days from this day to Easter, which Catholics regard as a season of fasting and penitence in preparation for Easter.
The so-called Lent Fastenzeit is a period of forty days, from "Ash Wednesday" to the day before "Easter", which is Ostersamstag. During this period, believers used to have to abstain from meat and could only eat some bread and water, in order to remember the suffering of Jesus Christ and atone for the believers' own sins. If you count on your fingers, you will find that there are more than 40 days. In fact, there is no need to fast on every Sunday. Very few of us observe this period of Lent to commemorate the sufferings of Jesus Christ. Of course, you can try to get rid of some bad habits during this period, such as not smoking and not eating sweets. Speaking of sweets, you might as well Be a Catholic for a while, eat a big meal during the carnival before Lent, the time when sweets are forbidden, and don’t forget to bring a broken parasol, the kind that can be turned upside down to make a trumpet, and enjoy the rain in the sugar forest. Charge into battle.
Interestingly, this festival was originally meant to commemorate Jesus Christ and atone for one’s sins, but the festival before Lent has turned into a grand carnival for Catholics to reward themselves. They wanted to have a good time and eat and drink before Lent, because after that, sweet tastes were prohibited until Easter. It is said that the original word carnival comes from Italian, and its etymology comes from the Latin caro (meat) + levare (removal). The original meaning is: "Meat! Goodbye", or "reduce the amount of meat." What we often call Carnival is translated from Karneval.
Because Carnival developed from the Catholic Lent, in Germany, the Catholic federal states have an official holiday on this day, while in the Protestant federal states, such as Hessen, You still have to go to work as usual.
