Anyway, today a question came to my mind when some friends of mine were talking about the Karneval (Fasching). Now as far as I know, Fasching used to be regarded evil by religious people...it's an atheist tradition i always thought. But here's the weird thing: Austria has a big Fasching in one of the most catholic regions and somehow that's contradictory for me. Why does a catholic country like austria celebrate the Fasching if its against their belief?
Originally Fasching was a heathen custom to get rid off the winter. The catholics "adopted" it somehow as the last days before Lent. You know that the Lent starts at "Aschermittwoch" and goes until Easter. At Fasching you can eat and drink as much as you want before the 7 weeks Lent starts (Fastenzeit). The protestants don't have a lent.

Jana, they aren't just very much catholic in your eyes, also for us Northern Germans. The farer you come to the south, the more catholic people are there. It already starts in parts of Hessen and of course in Bavaria.

ok girls please explain it to me, why do you think we are so catholic? noone here gives a shit to religion or belives that maria was a virgin or stuff like that.

what i mean is you dont necessarily practise the religion, but you are baptized. and the proportion of baptized people in austria is about 5 times higher to that in eastern (& northern) germany

well that doesn`t even have much to do with religion anymore, sure it`s in a church with a preacher but it`s tradition not more
