High Carnival
1. The season immediately preceding Lent, devoted in Italy and other Roman Catholic countries to revelry and riotous amusement, Shrovetide; the festivity of this season. High Carnival: the revelry of the Carnival at its height.Originally (according to Tommaseo and Bellini) ‘the day preceding the first of Lent’; commonly extended to the last three days or the whole week before Lent; in France it comprises Jeudi gras, Dimanche gras, Lundi gras and Mardi gras, i.e. Thursday before Quinquagesima, Quinquagesima Sunday, Monday, and Shrove Tuesday; in a still wider sense it includes ‘the time of entertainments intervening between ‘Twelfth-day’ (or Boxing Day) and Ash Wednesday’ (Littré). Mid Lent Carnival (Carnaval de la mi-carême): a festivity held on the middle Thursday of Lent, to celebrate the fact that the first half of that season is at an end.
