Fat Tuesday: Charlie Sheen’s Normal Tuesday! Fat Tuesday Explained!
Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday, the last day of Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday is a day to eat, drink and party…like Charlie Sheen. Fat Tuesday is really like Charlie Sheen’s normal Tuesday.
Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, and this holiday arrives to usher in the period of the year known as Lent.
The time between Ash Wednesday and Easter is a time to repent, but the entire lead-up to tomorrow’s holiday is known in New Orleans as Mardi Gras.
When is Mardi Gras?
While Mardi Gras celebrations can last from the period between the Epiphany and Ash Wednesday, the official day falls on the last Tuesday before the beginning of Lent, also known as Fat Tuesday.
How do you celebrate Mardi Gras?
In anticipation of fasting that accompanies Lent, it is traditional to go all out on Fat Tuesday, eating, drinking and generally having as good a time before Lent begins.
Who celebrates Mardi Gras?
Catholics in countries across Europe and the Americas celebrate Mardi Gras. This celebration is known as Carnival in several countries. Mardi Gras parades, parties and general displays of excess can be found on the days leading up to Ash Wednesday.
