Carnival in Bern
The carnival in Bern, Switzerland ((ドイツ語:Berner Fasnacht)) is an annual pre-Lenten festival in the Swabian-Alemannic tradition.
Its origins can be traced back to the 15th Century, and in 1513 the carnival led to a peasant revolt. The Bernese carnivals were held more or less regularly in medieval times, with strong anti-Papal rhetoric occurring between 1523 and 1525. After the Peasants' War religious themes in carnivals were prohibited and did not return until the local reformation of 1528 returned freedom of speech and expression to the Protestants.〔Ehrstine, pp. 83, 84〕
Authorities also tried to ban carnivals in later centuries. The carnival as it is known today was introduced in 1982, and is unique because it incorporates the city's history by beginning the carnival with the symbolic freeing of the bear.〔 The carnival in Bern in the country's third largest such celebration.〔
==Carnival beginnings==
Carnival was established in Bern during the medieval period.〔 In Bern, the term for carnival is either ''Fasnacht'' or ''Fastnacht'' which means on the eve of fasting. Before the beginning of Lent, or the 40 day fasting period, feasts and folk-festivals were commonly held. During the 15th, century Bern began to grow in importance, and in the 1420s during a carnval the cornerstone for the new ''Rathaus'' was laid.〔 The importance of the city became noticeable as visitors flocked to the city during the carnival celebrations. From the mid- to the end of the 15th century Bern saw visitors to the yearly carnival arrive from surrounding cities and Cantons such as Lucerne and as far away as from Cantons such as Schwyz.〔
