Don’t know much about Mardi Gras? Here’s a quick explanation of what Mardi Gras is from Wikipedia.
Mardi Gras (/ˈmɑːrdi ˌɡrɑː/), or Fat Tuesday, refers to events of the Carnival celebration, beginning on or
after the Christian feasts of the Epiphany (Three Kings Day) and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday, which is known as Shrove Tuesday. Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday”, reflecting the
practice of the last night of eating rich, fatty foods before the ritual Lenten sacrifices and fasting of the
Lenten season.
Happy Mardi Gras from Annie and Denise!
