Carnival Madness
Hello everyone! 😎👺
Since the middle of last week, a great event has started in my town, namely the Carnival, which is in fact one of the few events left in modern times from pagan times, that's to say, from the pre-Christian period.
Symbolically, it's an event where various characters, hidden under masks, good and bad, chase the winter to end as soon as possible.

On Thursday last week, "Pust" (Carnival King puppet), the main character of the carnival, took over the municipality and started the party. We found this out by walking around, everywhere, in every village, there is a puppet standing or hanging up, representing "Pust".
Disclaimer: I used this picture below in a previous post, namely, for me, the party started on Saturday, when I made a post about beers for #beersaturday (@detlev) and mentioned that the carnival had started. I'm posting it here due to context :)
The highlight of the event was the Carnival parade on Sunday, where 26 groups of masks presented themselves, from the surrounding area, each village having its own traditional and ethnological peculiarities, there were also Kurenti, the masks from Ptuj, and a few groups from Croatia because the border between Slovenia and Croatia is no longer there from the January the 1st (Shengen).
There were also some modern masks (Mad Max style...).
Visitors were most impressed by the local traditional masks Škoromati, I won't translate it because I don't really know how, these are local expressions that aren't understood in other parts of Slovenia also...
The "Škoromat" is the oldest carnival mask in this part of Europe, first mentioned in the 14th century, preserved in our region throughout that time, and an outstanding cultural heritage on a global scale. The masks are divided into good and bad, and they have fun in chaotic harmony.
And now, a lot of pictures :)
The last act of the carnival will take place on Wednesday, when the local community, led by the mayor, will burn the Carnival King puppet at the stake.
And then we wait for next year when it all happens again. 😁👺
Thank you for your attention!
btw: I hope that the video will be ready ASAP!

How amazing all those costumes, it looks very nice that parade, very varied, with great costumes, adore the paw patrol.
Thanks for stopping by. Yes, the costumes are nice and traditional.
Hello @seckorama !
Carnival is great, but some heat would be nice too. Sending you some rays of sunshine across the ocean!

Thanks for stopping by and still a lot of fun for you!
@missagora
Thank you, yes, we need heat now, the masks will chase the winter! 😎
It's great that you live your traditions and customs. No matter what the weather situation is. @missagora
Yes, tradition is always part of the cultural identity to which we belong, as a kind of memes
That's awesome!
Carnivals, I haven't visited one with colorful and custome like this!
Chasing winters and when it's over here in my country it will feel like burning on summer time 🤣
Thank you. Oh, but do you have a quick transition between winter and summer? A short spring? It will start raining here now and in a month or so, when everything is wet, it will be spring.
Unless, of course, it starts snowing again. 😎
We only have two weather here, summer and rainy. I live in a tropical county that only gets colder during the Ber months UpTo Feb.
And summer time? Feels like the air form electric fan will burn you 😂
Uf. Yeah, but the weather has been very changeable lately, you know, global warming, maybe we'll soon have the same as you and you'll have snow in June 😎
Ah yes! I remembered reading about the crazy changes in climate.
At first the idea excites me thinking we will be experiencing snow but knowing the disadvantages during the transition (if that will happened). It was bothering 🥹
😁
Oh yes! 😬.
Yay! 🤗

Hey brother, I like this post of yours! It's the carnival parade in Ilirska Bistrica?
Jas zdej v Bistrice v prijateljice 😉 A inače sam iz Opatije.
Baš lepo! Da, to je iz Bistrice. Pa evo, ti si mi najbliže od svih na #hive. Inače jako puše tu, danas. Btw: danas ću završit video o karnevalu, nadam se :)
V Bistrice i v Opatije je duga tradicija karnevala. Baš me zanima taj video. Koristiš li D-Tube?
Ne. Nekad sam. Sad koristim 3speak.tv, imam tamo snimljene koncerte, jbg low budget 😎 iz MKNŽ kluba ako ga znaš... dosta ljudi iz Rijeke i Opatije dolaze, baš ih je bilo nekoliko juče, in neke druge moje abstrakcije...
3speak je isto dobar. Ja koristim i jedno i drugo. Bio sam nekoliko puta u MKNŽ. Jednom sam svirao s Haris Pilton.
Haris Pilton? Mislim da znam koji je, bio je par puta DJ baš za karnevalsku žurku... evo baš sam završio taj video od carnevala, sutra ču ga stavit na 3speak pa ču te pingovat ako si zainteresiran.
Hajde može!
