Catholic history of Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Lent and Ash Wednesday
Visit for details.
The historical roots of Carnival and Mardi Gras lie in the Catholic calendar. It is the last hurrah before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. That's why the enormous party in New Orleans, for example, ends abruptly at midnight on Tuesday, with battalions of street sweepers pushing the crowds out of the French Quarter towards home.
Mardi Gras literally means Fat Tuesday in French. The name comes from the tradition of slaughtering and feasting upon a fattened calf on the last day of Carnival. The day is also known as Shrove Tuesday (from shriven to confess), Pancake Tuesday and fetter Dienstag. The custom of making pancakes comes from the need to use up fat, eggs and dairy before the fasting and abstinence of Lent begins.
Carnival comes from the words carne vale, meaning farewell to meat.
The Catholic Mass is the source and summit of our Faith, but few are aware of what it all means. This video will help you see how the Mass Explained app team of designers used technology to explain the historical development and significance of the prayers, Catholic Mass readings and responses in the liturgy.
The Mass Explained iPad app is a multimedia journey through the Catholic Mass — more specifically, the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite, the Mass with which most Catholics are familiar. It explores the roots of each section of the liturgy with its unique prayers and gestures.
Packed with scriptural references, quotes from the Church Fathers, the Catechism and excerpts from councils and encyclicals, the iPad app is scholarly yet totally approachable and thoroughly entertaining.
In addition to the hundreds of photographs, drawings, charts, mass music and graphs that make for a stunning user experience, The Mass Explained iPad app contains several interactive elements.
