The name Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday, a day of feasting before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. This day is also known as Shrove Tuesday. New Orleans first celebrated Mardi Gras in 1743 with Governor Marquis de Vaudreuil hosting a Carnival ball. New Orleans' Carnival had many similarities to Carnival in Europe. They were both celebrated privately and publicly by all ranks of people. Europe and New Orleans had Carnival balls and they both marched and celebrated in the streets as well. Floats became part of the New Orleans celebration in 1837 and since then have become an integral aspect of festivities. In 1872, the official colors of Mardi Gras were chosen based on an honored visitor to New Orleans: Russian Grand Duke Alexis Romanoff. The purple stands for justice, the green for faith, and the gold for power. Mardi Gras has events organized by private clubs known as krewes. Today there are about 60 krewes that plan the parades and balls of New Orleans' Mardi Gras. The oldest krewe, the Krewe of Comus, was founded in 1857 by men who feared the outrageous antics of Mardi Gras would lead to the holiday being outlawed. Mardi Gras became a legal holiday in Louisiana in 1875. One of the most popular traditions of Mardi Gras is the King Cake, which is a coffee cake pastry with a plastic baby inside. Traditionally, whoever finds the baby in his or her piece of cake is said to have good fortune throughout the year and must provide the King Cake for next year's party.
