In
French, Mardi Gras means "Fat Tuesday" and is celebrated
the day
before Ash Wednesday as a last "fling" prior to the 40
days of Lent
which precede Easter. Lent is a word that comes from the Middle
English
word "lente" which means "springtime" - so named
for the season of the
year in which it usually occurs. While the practice of Lent is not
mentioned in the Bible, it has been a tradition in the Christian
world
since the mid 4th century. It seems to parallel the 40 days of fasting
in the wilderness that Jesus experienced following his baptism.
Historically,
Lenten fasting became mandatory, especially abstinence
from eating meat. While recommended by St. Athanasius, bishop
of
Alexandria in 330 AD, by the Middle Ages Lent was enforced throughout
Europe, especially the forbidding of meat during the final weeks
before
Easter.
