Happy Mardi Gras! 3 Things You May Not Know About Mardi Gras! Mardi Gras, which means “Fat Tuesday” in French, conjures up images of drunken revelers engaging in excesses of every kind. But although debaucherous partying is certainly part of the scene, so too is religion, culture, food, and history. As the Mardi Gras season begins today, explore nine things you may not know about this pre-Lenten festival. 1. Mardi Gras and Carnival are the same celebration. Though Mardi Gras technically refers only to Fat Tuesday, the Mardi Gras season actually begins on Epiphany, a Christian holiday celebrated on January 6 that is otherwise known as Three Kings Day or the Twelfth Day of Christmas. In Brazil and many other countries, this period between Epiphany and Fat Tuesday is known as Carnival. Whichever name you prefer to use, the revelries of Mardi Gras last until midnight on Fat Tuesday, when Ash Wednesday ushers in 40 days of Lent. 2. New Orleans did not host the first North American Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is believed to have arrived in North America on March 3, 1699, when the French-Canadian explorer Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville camped about 60 miles downriver from the future site of New Orleans. Knowing it was Fat Tuesday back in France, Iberville named the spot Point du Mardi Gras and held a small gala. A few years later, French soldiers and settlers feasted and wore masks as part of Mardi Gras festivities in the newly founded city of Mobile (present-day Alabama). To this day, Mobile claims to have the oldest annual Mardi Gras celebration in the United States. 3. King Cake is only eaten during Mardi Gras. Available only during the Mardi Gras season, king cake is typically made with brioche dough. Braided and laced with cinnamon, the dough is then glazed with purple, green and gold sugar or covered in icing in those same Mardi Gras colors. What really sets king cake apart from other desserts, however, is the small plastic baby hidden inside. Whoever finds the baby in his or her slice must buy the next cake or perhaps host the next party. [image[

Why not! Covid had caused the cancellation of a lot of parades, balls and other celebrations. But, it's the Mardi Gras spirit that will never be cancelled.

Yep, Covid had put a damper on a lot of Mardi Gras activities, especially in the larger cities like New Orleans and Baton Rouge. It's a wait and see for the smaller towns. The smaller towns have more family oriented celebrations.
