For those who did not experience the Mardi Gras itself, is losing a lot. Throughout the Gulf Coast earlier this year when the excitement as the season approaches to build. Although actually celebrated because of Lent, dark, people from all walks of life enjoy the holiday.

The holiday has its origins in Europe, a time of extravagant fun for the early Christians were. The tradition was brought to the United States of these Europeans.In the U.S., which started in Mobile in 1703 in the United States is the original port of Mobile, Alabama. The words are of French origin and means Mardi Gras. It is celebrated in both Mobile and New Orleans in style with extravagant balls and parades spectacular. The masks have been from the start and members of the company that many still use them to use while driving on floats in parades. In the early days of parade society was against the rules formembers to disclose to anyone outside the company. Although many companies, these policies have fallen, some of the oldest companies still adhere to them and say who identity leads to immediate dismissal from the company. Why do people behave so badly, but hidden by the mask, for decades in the early nineteenth century masks were actually illegal for use during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The ban was later lifted and masks was again on everyone's lips.

InIn 1872 the city of New Orleans visit of Grand Duke Alexis Romanoff was a parade.

They went for the appointment of a "king for a day," said a royal reception for His Majesty was able to host. It 'was so popular that tradition and be held every year in both societies in New Orleans and Mobile, you now select kings and queens, the chairman of their annualBalls. It 'was also the royal visit Romanoff that the colors of the holiday party was created. Romanoff house colors are purple for justice, green for faith and gold for power, as the colors we have today.

When attending parades, rain falls on the public start to finish. Shots are made of many things of colored beads around doubloons with the logo of this particular company in delicious moon pies. Many varieties of candy thrown also on the massesAs the parade passed. People do commit heinous acts to grab the attention of those of the head of the swimmer. They dress outrageously and some courageous are known to exhibit certain parts of the body, just to get the best casts (of course, that last part quite illegal and quite a few landed in the local prison!) Total Mardi Gras is a big block party with all to enjoy the parades, images and sounds of those around them. If you're not a Mardi Gras that was not exactly whatAnd 'absent.
