Mardi Gras
A Christian holiday and popular cultural phenomenon, Mardi Gras
dates back thousands of years to pagan spring and fertility rites.
Mardi Gras can occur on any Tuesday from February 3 through
March 9.
It is always scheduled 47 days preceding Easter (the 40 days of
Lent, plus seven Sundays).
Mardi Gras, also known as "Shrove Tuesday", "Pancake Tuesday"
or "Fat Tuesday" is celebrated all over the world with fun, games,
and a lot of eating.
The official colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold. Purple
represents justice, green stands for faith, and gold signifies power.

parade depicts a specific subject.
Among the more popular subjects have been history, children's
stories, legends, geography, famous people and entertainment.
