Mardi Gras, which means "Fat Tuesday" in French, originated as a Christian celebration marking the last day before Lent, a period of fasting and penance. Traditionally, it involved feasting on rich foods before the restrictions of Lent began. Over time, Mardi Gras evolved into a vibrant cultural festival, especially in places like New Orleans, featuring parades, music, and elaborate costumes, reflecting a blend of various cultural influences. Today, it celebrates community, creativity, and indulgence before the Lenten season.
