Germans Cutting Ties
Maddie Yates cutting Mr.Oglesby’s necktie for Weiberfastnacht which kicks off the beginning of Karneval (Mardi Gras) in Germany.
Weiberfastnacht? Why not! This is a holiday celebrated mostly in the Rhineland on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday. Originally a special day for women’s carnival, but now celebrated by both sexes as the beginning of the six-day peak of the carnival season.
