There is no Biblical significance to the day before Lent begins. The 40 days of Lent represent the 40 days Our Lord spent in the desert fasting and praying before he began his public life. It should be a time of fasting and praying for us, also. The day before, 'Mardi Gras,' is sometimes considered a day to go to excess on food and alcohol before the penance of Lent begins.
