applicationup.blogspot.com - Carnival which as we know is a nice thing where we can see people dressed in unique and funny and also accompanied by music happy and cheerful. But apparently it does not apply in Spain and also Portugal.
As quoted from huffingtonpost.com, turned out to Spain and Portugal have a unique carnival concept and also wild to celebrate Lent (fasting 40 days ahead of the Easter Christians).
Alasua is one area in Spain where at the time of the carnival, the inhabitants use half bull costume or commonly known as Momotxorros were also smeared their faces with blood-red liquid. The liquid as if it is the blood of sacrificed animals. By using their horns and red clothes as he roars around the Spanish city with the wild and swinging sticks.
While in other regions of Spain, precisely in Luzon, while carnival men smeared his body with oil and black powder as well as using horns and bells are usually tied to the cow for themselves as represents the devil.
Another case in the area Unamu, Spain where people dressed Mamuxarro (figures in folklore) using red outfit complete with a mask of iron. According to custom, later they will catch the victim is usually a young woman and the victim must kneel and kiss the knee after being given the sign of the cross on his forehead.
While in Portugal, precisely in the area Lazarin, young men deliberately using colored costume comes with a mask in which then they would dance while capturing prey, namely the people who are around and are usually young women. This they did on purpose to frighten them by shouting or ring the bell.
