Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday.” The “fat” in the
name comes from the ancient custom of parading a fat
ox through Paris on this
day. The ox was to
remind the people that
they were not allowed
to eat meat during the
time of fasting known
as Lent. Lent runs from
Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday.
