"Mardi Gras (French for "Fat Tuesday") is the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is the final day of Carnival, though the term is often used incorrectly to describe the days and weeks preceding Fat Tuesday. Carnival begins 12 days after Christmas, or Twelfth Night, on January 6 and ends on Mardi Gras, which always falls exactly 46 days before Easter. Mardi Gras Day can therefore fall on any Tuesday between February 3 and March 9. Perhaps the cities most famous for their Mardi Gras celebrations include New Orleans, Louisiana; Venice, Italy; Mobile, Alabama; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."
"A king cake a type of cake associated with Mardi Gras and Carnival. The cakes have a small trinket (often a small plastic baby, sometimes said to represent baby Jesus) inside, and the person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket has various privileges and obligations."
