An iron gate is decorated for Mardi Gras at British Park, Feb. 4, 2024, in Mobile, Alabama. Mobile, which was founded by French settlers in 1702, is considered the birthplace of Mardi Gras in America, holding the first organized Mardi Gras celebration in 1703. The word Mardi Gras refers to Fat Tuesday, which is the last day before Lent begins, but the entire Mardi Gras season begins in January after the Feast of the Epiphany. Mardi Gras is a season of revelry and merrymaking held before the austere 40-day period of Lent. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
