许多国家都有一个传统的狂欢节，它不是一个基督教的节日。今天，狂欢节是一个国际性的多文化的体验。大多数狂欢节在2、3月份。它的起源很古老，可以追溯到中世纪的欧洲。欧洲最著名的狂欢节在威尼斯，人们可以穿着不同的化装服，戴着不同的面具，把自己化装成任何人，甚至是鬼。他们用化装服和面具掩盖他们的真实身份，假装是穷人或富人，趁着混乱做他们想做的任何事情。起初，威尼斯的狂欢节只持续一天，后来被延长了。因为有人做坏事，狂欢节曾被禁止过，仅仅成为很多人的回忆。直到20世纪70年代后期狂欢节才由一些学生恢复。每年，大量的游客来到威尼斯参加盛大的游行。如果你想去的话，你必须提前预订旅馆。漫步在拥挤的街道上，你可以享受面具的神秘，感到很轻松。据说面具具有神奇的魔力。
