Laissez les bon temps rouler!! Let the good times roll...Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday. It is also called Carnival, or Carneval, which derives from Carnivale, Latin for "farewell to flesh". It is celebrated as the last chance to party hearty before the season of Lent begins. Lent is the period pertaining to the last forty days of Christ's life on earth. Easter Sunday evokes a new beginning with the remembrance of Christ rising from the dead, and the end of Lent.
