Shoppe’s mission is to help its customers discover the perfect paper and design that will leave a lasting impression on their Mardi Gras celebrations.
The French definition of "Mardi Gras" is "Fat Tuesday," so named because it falls on the day before Ash Wednesday, the day prior to Lent, a 40 day season of prayer and fasting observed by the Roman Catholic Church which ends on Easter Sunday. The origin of "Fat Tuesday" is believed to have come from the ancient Pagan custom of parading a fat ox through the town streets. Such Pagan holidays were filled with excessive eating, drinking and general rowdiness prior to a period of fasting. Mardi Gras celebration fluctuates between Christmas and Lent. Easter is always on a Sunday, but it can be any Sunday from March 23rd through April 25th. Its actual date is the Sunday following the first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox.
The Mardi Gras celebration period is always the 47 days that precede this allotted Sunday. However, the beginning of the Mardi Gras Season itself is also fixed, beginning January 6th, which is the Feast of the Ephiphany, otherwise known as Little Christmas or Twelfth Night. Since the date of Mardi Gras varies, the length of Mardi Gras also varies accordingly from year-to-year.
Unique Mardi Gras Party Invitations, Mardi Gras Invitations, King & Queen Ball Invitations and Mardi Gras Thank You Cards are available from Announcements-
Shoppe.
