What is Fat Tuesday?

Fat Tuesday, also called Pancake Day, Pancake Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday and Mardi Gras (which is French for "Fat Tuesday") - all these terms refer to the same day -, is the last day of feasting before the Lenten season (see Lent) begins on Ash Wednesday.

Fat Tuesday is a movable feast whose date is determined by Easter. It's celebrated exactly 47 days before Easter Sunday. 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 Fat Tuesday, in the English-speaking world the term is particularly associated with the "Mardi Gras" carnival celebrations in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Recently the term "Mardi Gras" has evolved to refer to the whole period of festivities, not just the single day of Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday.

For detailed information on Fat Tuesday see Wikipedia's entries on Shrove Tuesday and the Mardi Gras carnival celebrations.
