SEOUL, April 14 (Korea Bizwire) — Seoul Land theme park has announced its “Mardi Gras Together!” carnival parade, which will run until June 6. The photo shows performers at Seoul Land in Gwacheon donning exotic masks featuring motifs such as carnival and lion masks.
Mardi Gras, a French term which translates to “Fat Tuesday” in English, was originally a religious holiday. In Catholicism, the 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter are called Lent, during which period people are expected to abstain from fatty foods. Fat Tuesday, therefore, is a day to indulge in fatty foods and meat before the start of Lent.
