What is Mardi Gras?
Mardi Gras carnival celebrations in New Orleans
Mardi Gras, also called
Pancake Day,
Pancake Tuesday,
Shrove Tuesday and
Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday"), is the last day of feasting before
Lent begins on
Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras depends on date of
Easter (it always falls 47 days before
Easter Sunday) which is a movable feast, meaning the date of Mardi Gras also changes every year. The date can vary from as early as February 3 to as late as March 9.
While there are carnival festivals in many countries on Mardi Gras, in the English-speaking world the term "Mardi Gras" is particularly associated with the carnival celebrations in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Recently it has evolved to refer to the whole period of festivities, not just the single day of Mardi Gras.
