Fasching Time


Below are some pictures of Fasching here in Germany. It is similar to Carnival or Mardi Gras elsewhere and represents a very dark spiritual time for many. Just prior to the season of Lent, where we sacrifice something of ourselves, this is the time to let it all hang out, coupled with the thoughts of chasing away the dark spirits of winter.



The Party, then the Parade



This is quite scary !!!!!
