Mardi Gras

Tuesday 20 February 2007


Easter
"The canonical rule is that Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the 14th day of the lunar month (the nominal full moon) that falls on or after 21 March (nominally the day of the vernal equinox ). For determining the feast, Christian churches settled on a method to define a reckoned "ecclesiastic" Moon, rather than observations of the true Moon like the Jews did." -- Wikepedia

Lent
"...The forty days before Easter, not including Sundays." -- -- Wikepedia

(In Judaic, Christian and Islamic tradition: the tag Forty days and forty nights describes the period for which rain fell during Noah's flood, the period Moses spent on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments and the period Christ spent in the wilderness.)

"Mardi Gras in New Orleans"

"Mardi Gras has been a part of Louisiana culture since 1699. Parades have rolled in New Orleans and Mobile since the early 1800's, and it's the 150th anniversary of the first official Mardi Gras krewe parade in New Orleans. We take the occasion to remember the life and passing of the leader of the Yellow Pocahontas, Allison “Tootie” Montana, the Chief of Chiefs who passed away in June of 2005."
