So why the hullabaloo? Mardis Gras is a celebration before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the penitential season of Lent.
And what is Lent? Lent, in the Christian tradition, is the period of the year from Ash Wednesday to Easter. It’s when the believer — through prayer, repentance, almsgiving and self-denial — prepares for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus.
But today was Shrove Tuesday. So have a pancake and join the parade, led by the teachers, the parents and Miss Paula and her tambourine!
