The Venice Carnival

As you might have already guessed this carnival occurs in Venice, Italy! The carnival was originally viewed as the opportunity for everyone to be equal, people could not see each other's faces and bodies because they had to wear masks and covering clothing. In 2014, according to the official website, the carnival will be held from February 15th to March 4th. The Venice carnival became a huge attraction for tourists and it is now one of the oldest carnivals in the world!

I definitely want to make this one of the destinations I absolutely have to visit. The whole mystery about not knowing who is the person you are meeting or how do they look is very intriguing. I feel that this carnival is very spiritual because if we take away all of the material components in our life and only focus on our spirit, we will realize that we are all equal. This carnival emphasizes that absolutely everyone is equal and that there are no exceptions.
