Summary

[edit]
Description

The Carnaval celebrations culminate on the Saturday of Carnival Week with the great Allegorical Parade of floats that fill the waterfront of Funchal with thousands of of dancers, divided into a dozen contingents that compete among themselves for originality and beauty. This Funchal, Madiera Allegorical Carnaval Parade is famous for amazing costumes and catchy, well executed choreography.

Many fables and fairy tales use allegory, like The Three Little Pigs. The pig that put in the most work builds the strongest house so the allegorical message is that if you work hard, you will see the rewards. The Greek storyteller Aesop was well known for his fables, which were allegories.

A Celtic Triple Goddess is Morrígan, a trio of sisters who protected destiny and prophecy

For the Greeks, the Moirai (/ˈmɔɪraɪ, -riː/) known in English as the Fates—were the personifications of destiny. They were three sisters: Clotho (the spinner), Lachesis (the allotter), and Atropos (the inevitable, a metaphor for death). Their Roman equivalent is the Parcae. The role of the Moirai was to ensure that every being, mortal and divine, lived out their destiny as it was assigned to them by the laws of the universe. For mortals, this destiny spanned their entire lives and was represented as a thread spun from a spindle. Generally, they were considered to be above even the gods in their role as enforcers of fate
