Fastnachtumzug Marbach

Warum ist in diesem Saal alles weiß?

Weiß gilt als die Farbe der Freude, der Reinheit und der Erlösung. Wir freuen uns, dass wir im Saal beieinander sind und dass wir Gemeinschaft mit Gott haben. Ein schlichter Saal lässt das Wichtigste, die versammelte Gemeinde, besser zur Geltung kommen.

Carnival is a festive season which occurs immediately before Lent; the main events are usually during February. Carnival typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, mask and public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations, which mark an overturning of daily life.

Carnival is a festival traditionally held in Catholic and, to a lesser extent, Eastern Orthodox societies. Protestant areas usually do not have Carnival celebrations or have modified traditions, such as the Danish Carnival or other Shrove Tuesday events. The Brazilian Carnival is one of the best-known celebrations today, but many cities and regions worldwide celebrate with large, popular, and days-long events.
