Vaval (F) The spirit of Carnival, an effigy representing the spirit of Carnival. In the neighbouring French islands and in certain villages of Dominica revelers celebrate "Téwé Vaval" on the afternoon of Ash Wednesday, to symbolically bury or burn the spirit of Carnival. In the Carib Territory and at Dublanc, effigies of Vaval, made of old clothes, fiber stuffing and cloth or cardboard masks are paraded along the roadways and burned at sunset marking the end of revelry and the beginning of Lent. The practice dates from early Christian Europe and was brought to Dominica from the French islands where it is a very popular climax to the Carnival season. Hope that helps... (:
