Cask. Wine Casks. Catacombs 2. Catacombs. Cask cartoon. Cask comic. Carnival. Carnival is traditionally held in areas with a large Catholic and to a lesser extent, Eastern Orthodox makeup.
Protestant areas usually do not have Carnival celebrations or have modified traditions, such as the Danish Carnival or other Shrove Tuesday events. Conversely, the Philippines, though a predominantly Roman Catholic country, does not have Carnival celebrations because it has been culturally influenced by neighboring Asian nations, which do not have Carnival celebrations.[1] History[edit] Carnival in Rome circa 1650 The Lenten period of the Liturgical year Church calendar, being the six weeks directly before Easter, was marked by fasting and other pious or penitential practices.

YouTube. The Cask of Amontillado. "The Cask of Amontillado" (sometimes spelled "The Casque of Amontillado") is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book.
The story is set in a nameless Italian city in an unspecified year and is about the narrator's deadly revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive—in this case, by immurement. Plot summary[edit] The story's narrator, Montresor, tells the story of the day that he took his revenge on Fortunato, a fellow nobleman, to an unspecified person who knows him very well. Angry over some unspecified insult, he plots to murder his friend during Carnival when the man is drunk, dizzy, and wearing a jester's motley.
Montresor walls up the niche, entombing his friend alive.

You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitively settled — but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved, precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It must be understood, that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. He had a weak point — this Fortunato — although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared.
It was about dusk, one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season, that I encountered my friend. I said to him — “My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met. “How?” “Amontillado!” “I have my doubts.” “And I must satisfy them.” “Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry.”
