Mardi Gras has its origins long before Christianity and offers an excellent way to educate friends and family about what Mardi Gras means. MMLJ Christian Gifts decided to include these bracelets because, in the tradition of the early Church, it was decided to do the same...who is MMLJ Christian Gifts to argue?
In mid February the ancient Romans celebrated the Lupercalia, a circus like festival, later to be called Mardi Gras. When Rome embraced Christianity, the early Church fathers decided it was better to incorporate certain aspects of pagan rituals into the new faith rather than attempt to abolish them altogether. Carnival became a period of abandon and merriment that preceded the penance of Lent, thus giving a Christian interpretation to the ancient custom. Mardi Gras came to America in 1699 with the French explorer Iberville. Mardi Gras is now held on "Fat Tuesday" the day before "Ash Wednesday" when the period of fasting and sacrifice begins. Celebrate Mardi Gras in style with this fun bracelet!
