Revelers take part in the Zambo carnival held in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on March 13, 2016, to mark the last period of excess on the eve of the Christian Greek Orthodox lent. The inspiration of the annual Zambo celebration is unclear, despite it being a tradition that stretches back over a century to when an emigrant to Brazil returned to his native Tripoli bringing the carnival with him.
