Mardi Gras

It's Fat Tuesday, the last day of indulgence before the fasting and penance of Lent begins. While the revelry in New Orleans rather grab the attention, others may find some interesting Mardi Gras traditions.

Mobile, Ala., calls himself "Mother mystics" because historians believe that the first North American celebration of Mardi Gras dates from the early 1700s, when the mobile was the French occupation and use of the Catholic settlers were them.

"They are actually slaughtered the ox together - the fatted ox, of course, this is where Mardi Gras came from, and the term Mardi Gras," said Judi Gulledge, director of the Mobile Carnival Association. "They are also used to make the fake parade and the head of an ox on the streets," she says.
