About Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras, or “Fat Tuesday,” has its roots in ancient pagan spring and fertility festivals, later adopted by Christianity as a pre-Lenten celebration. Originating in medieval Europe, the tradition was brought to the Americas by French explorers in the 17th century, with New Orleans becoming the heart of Mardi Gras festivities in the U.S. The holiday marks the final day of indulgence before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and reflection leading up to Easter. Over time, Mardi Gras evolved into a vibrant celebration featuring parades, masked balls, colorful beads, and the iconic King Cake. Today, it remains a lively blend of religious tradition and cultural revelry, especially in cities with strong French and Catholic influences.
