Mardi Gras flights: A not so widespread celebration

We all know of Christmas, Easter and Good Friday, but not many outside the Christian world are aware of Mardi Gras. Originally a pagan celebration, it was adapted by the early Christians, to appease the general public. It is celebrated a day before Ash Wednesday, the day when fasting starts for devout Christians. The name in French means Fat Tuesday, which means eat all you can before the fasting starts. Usually, you were meant to finish the stock of everything to eat in your house while for others it meant preparing and consuming items that have lots of fat. As Christianity spread, this day was observed in other countries too. If you need Mardi Gras flights, we can assist you with this.
