Fiestas de los meses
febrero,marzo y abril
A WebQuest for Grade 8
• Carnaval marks a period of
festivity prior to the beginning
of Lent. Lent was, and for
some still is, a 40-day period of
solemnity and fasting with the
removal of meat from the diet
being a key feature. You can
see the word carne (meat) in
Carnaval; traditionally, this
was the last chance to eat
meat before the Lenten fast.
Today, Carnaval often
resembles a lively, multi-day
party.
• Falling in either February or
March, Carnaval is typically
celebrated during the five days
that precede Ash Wednesday,
the first day of Lent. In some
countries, Carnaval lasts
longer, overlapping other local
celebrations. In many regions,
traditions such as throwing
water and eggs can start over
a month before the actual
holiday. The planning for the
next year’s parades, parties,
and dance groups often starts
as soon as the current
Carnaval ends!

for its cultural uniqueness.

Las Fallas

engulfs the city of Valencia, Spain. Tens of
thousands of visitors from all over the world

creative displays. Each day, the deafening
explosions of thousands of firecrackers, la
mascletà, fills the city at 2:00 p.m. and each
night’s celebration ends in fireworks.
Las Fallas
• The main characters of the
celebration are the ninots, gigantic
figures built of wood, plaster, and
cardboard. The largest are up to
several stories tall. Neighborhood
organizations build these enormous
figures during the preceding year.
Then, during the week of Las Fallas,
they display them in intersections,
parks, and plazas throughout the city.
The public visits the more than 400
fallas and votes for their favorite one.
On the last night at midnight, all but

bonfires. Then one final, brilliant
display of fireworks explodes over the
city.

other places often go back to their hometowns. Others take
advantage of the long break to go to the countryside or
beach. Entire communities come together for Semana
Santa celebrations. In some places, religious processions fill
the streets each day of the week from Palm Sunday to
Easter; in others, Thursday and Friday are the most
important days. Most Semana Santa traditions are
hundreds of years old and originated in Spain, but many
now have a unique twist due to the mix of cultures in each
country.
