Mardi Gras is not really a medival tradition. Actually, it is a tradition, not saying that is isn't one at all, but it is to let christ followers who fast during lent have one last "hoorah" before lent. This day falls 46 days before easter and it is celebrated by eating fatty foods, hence the name fat tuesday, like butter and grease to prepare christians and other christ followers for lent.
