"Mardi Gras," "Mardi Gras season," and "Carnival season," in English, refer to
events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after Epiphany and
culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi gras is French for Fat
Tuesday, referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty
foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash
Wednesday. The day is sometimes referred to as Shrove Tuesday, from the word
shrive, meaning "confess." Related popular practices are associated with
celebrations before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the
penitential season of Lent.
