Hello All!
Thought this was interesting. I use ask.com as my search engine and they had a quiz on their home page. It said question of the day. Where did Mardi Gras originate?
For fun, I decided to just guess, and here is what i came up with!

"Question of the Day
sourceWhere did Mardi Gras originate?
A). Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, B.)Ancient Egypt, C.) Ancient Rome or D.) Paris, France?"


"C) is correct. Mardi Gras was started by Christians in Rome to integrate pagan spring festivals into the church calendar leading up to Lent.

Society has been intertwining so much peganism for so long into religions!
