An old woman looks on as a carnival participant dressed in a costume and wearing body paint takes part in the annual Zambo carnival held in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli, on February 26, 2023, marking 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.
