Fat Tuesday arrived at Carnegie Library

Mardi Gras, also called Fat Tuesday in English, is a Carnival celebration. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday", reflecting the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season (Lent is the Christian season of preparation before Easter).

One of the wonderful traditions of Mardi Gras, and probably the most delicious, is the King Cake.
We started the King Cake tradition at the library thanks to our beloved Rosa Medrano, who brought a delicious King Cake for us. Thank you very much, Rosa! We love you better now :-)

Happy Mardi Gras everybody!
