A brief explanation of Mardi Gras

Описание: Mardi Gras is an annual celebration held on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Christian season of Lent. It originated in medieval Europe and was brought to the United States by French colonial settlers in the 18th century.

Celebrating Mardi Gras is a fun and festive way to mark the end of the Carnival season. There are parades, costumes, music, dancing, and of course plenty of food and drinks. It is a great way to get together with friends and family and enjoy the spirit of the season. The traditional colors of Mardi Gras are purple (for justice), green (for faith), and gold (for power).

The main reason for celebrating Mardi Gras is to enjoy the festivities before the solemn season of Lent starts. It is a time to let go of all the excess and enjoy life before the fast and abstinence of the upcoming weeks. The celebration of Mardi Gras is a way to express joy and happiness before the start of the Lenten journey.
