Carnival follies haven't a precise time to take
place. They usually happen just before Lent, the
40-day period preceding the Easter holiday. The
Catholic Easter date was established by the
Niceia's Council in the year 325 A.D. The key to
calculate the right time for it is the equinox,
the day when the sun passes the Equator, up to
the North, and the first spring day. It is also
the first Sunday during or after the year's first
full moon.
Carnival activities around Brazil normally take
place from the Friday prior to Ash Wednesday and
continue up to and including Ash Wednesday
itself. In some cities the celebrations will
spill over through the entire week and include
the following weekend. Most Brazilian offices and
business will close for the week of Carnival in
much the same way companies in many parts of the
world close between Christmas and the New Year.
