Celebrating Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras is a carnival that takes place the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday in the city of New Orleans, USA.  The celebration of Mardi Gras is among the largest and most famous in the world. Its traditional colors are green, purple and gold.


A curious fact is that during the festival, of the floats are released colored collars to the public and women show their breasts to the crowd wanting to have collars, today's residents consider this practice immoral.

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.
