Happy Mardi Gras from Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary School! ABVM thanks the 7th grade students and parents for the great carnival! The students had a blast.

Mardi Gras, translated from French into “Fat Tuesday,” happens on the Tuesday before the Christian celebration of “Ash Wednesday.” Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Christian season of Lent, which ends on Easter. Mardi Gras has no set calendar date since it is predetermined based upon Easter, which changes from year to year.
