HARTFORD, CONN. – Carnival: from the Italian carne, signifying meat, and levare, a verb meaning “to lift.” In the Catholic year, the period known as Lent. Meat-free, a period of self-denial, of sins and excesses given up and given over in favor of spiritual introspection. Strange, how carnival has come to signify its opposite.
