Okay, they had a party before Christianity was introduced to Brazil. It is now defined as Carnival which is rooted in Christianity. This is all a load of crap. I hope my government grant did not pay for tis.

Sorry, History major mode. It’s called syncretism. Cultures, languages, and religions encountering each other inevitably conflict and then blend. You won’t find feather and sequin encased nearly naked mullatas, or floats of drunken masked white guys parading in Rome. But Rio and New Orleans?
