Lent is basically that time wherein Christians prepare for Holy Week (Death and Resurrection of Christ). Lent starts from Ash Wednesday until Easter (46 days in total). Preparation for Holy Week usually entails prayer, fasting, penance and other forms of self-denial. Which is why before Lent all sorts of excess are practiced. Sort of a last chance to indulge before the "fasting" period. Hence, the carnival tradition before Lent.
Love the new artwork. Lucrezia practically glows when she's next to Cesare.
