  3. It is a traditional holiday that is celebrated every year.
    The Mardi Gras celebrates in different ways, with food, parades, music.
    In addition there exists in the museum of lousiana a sample of the jewels that are used in this holiday.
    It is traditional to use mask to conceal the identity.

  4. Mardi Gras is one of the carnivals more important in the world. During the carnival people go to the parades, they eat much, they wear colour and beautiful costumes with several necklaces. Is very traditional in this celebration that people eat “king cake”, the which is decorate with purple, gold and green sauces, the colors of Mardi Gras. It is a carnival that would be very interesting to know.

  5. Mardi Gras is one big holiday in New Orleans. People is wearing purple, green and gold. They sit on the ground , playing music, picnicking, and watching the multitude walk by between parades. This event is a somewhat similar to flower's fair in Medellin, Colombia because people are walking everywhere and meeting new friends and they love it!

  6. Mardi Gras is a big and popular celebration. It has a lot of cultural activities that are bad imitate around the world. This celebration is always on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, this a unique curious thing.
    People say it's a crazy party, but all is not true.
    In fact, here there are adult parties, but familiar activities too.
    There are many parades, works of theater, and other events for everyone. People enjoy with costumes and the krewes of the carnival.
    They have a special food, called King cake, it's a kind of big bread with milk, sugar, salt and things like that.
    This carnival is like if you were going to a theme park, your dreams can be to reality.

If an infant or child dies no funeral rites are needed because you can not show respect for someone younger. Then the child is buried in silence.
