What special day is immediately before lent?

Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, is celebrated before Ash Wednesday which is the first day of Lent. Mardi Gras is a long celebration that begins on or after the Epiphany and lasts until the night before Ash Wednesday; the actual day before Wednesday is traditionally the last day to eat rich, sumptuous foods before the ritual fasting that happens during Lent. Lent is the approximately six week period of solemn religious observance before Easter Day. It is traditionally described as lasting for forty days, to symbolize the forty days Jesus Christ fasted in the desert; however, the duration can actually vary. Lent comes after the Mardi Gras celebrations and Shrovetide and before Holy Week, the Paschal Triduum, and Easter.
