Mardi Gras / Carnival

Cajun Mardi Gras traditions date back to medieval France (and perhaps earlier) when, on the "anything goes" holiday celebrating the last day before the Lenten fast, peasants would dress up in ridiculous costumes, generally ridiculing their "superiors" (Nobles, Clergy and Intelligentsia). They would then travel around their area seeking alms or handouts. The mummers of England and modern Halloween celebrations have similar roots.
