The Catholic Morning Show crew breaks down what Mardi Gras really means and how the celebration fits into the Church’s preparation for Lent. They explore its historical roots, traditions, and how Catholics today can approach the season with the right spiritual mindset.
Bo, Matt, Alexia, and Ayden discuss the origins of Mardi Gras and its Catholic background.
“Mardi Gras,” meaning Fat Tuesday, developed as the final day before Ash Wednesday — historically a time when Catholics used up rich foods and prepared spiritually for Lent through fasting, prayer, and repentance.
The crew talks about:
• The historical Catholic roots of the celebration
• Why feasting came before fasting
• How Catholics today can properly prepare for Lent
