The merry-making events of Mardi Gras are a precursor to the beginning of Lent. Mardi Gras, French for Fat Tuesday, has origins that can be traced back to 1699.  Always held the day before the Christian holiday of Ash Wednesday, which is the start of the Lent season leading up to Easter. The idea of Mardi Gras is to provide a final opportunity to partake in rich foods and extra celebratory events.
