Mardi Gras 2023

No prob, hope it works out for you and yours .

What was interesting (at least to me) in looking up that info is that i discovered that MG can occur anywhere from Feb 3rd til March 9th.. i cant personally remember, in my lifetime, MG occurring anywhere near Feb 3rd, nor as late as Mar 9th- though i did see that MG 2027 will take place on Feb 9th, which might be the earliest i can recall it happening .


ETA so i lied, twice in my lifetime it has fallen on Feb 7th, and once on Feb 5th(!)

This is because Easter is the is the first Sunday after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox, which is March 21. So you have roughly 28 days (moon cycle) plus six days (one week minus a day) of variation in the calendar for Easter.

And of course Mardi Gras is the day before Ash Wednesday, which is always 46 days before Easter.
