I would like to share with you my Mardi Gras lesson from my Momma. Mardi Gras is connected to the Catholic Church in that it is the 'farewell to flesh' or a period of feasting before the fasting of Lent. The colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold. The purple represent justice, the green stands for faith and the gold signifies power. That is why we get to wear our Mardi Gras outfits today. Momma made me an original Mardi Gras Onesie just to wear for this special day. Daddy is even celebrating by wearing beads. I sure hope someday I get to go to New Orleans to visit all my cousins and go to the Mardi Gras parades with them.
