Mardi Gras is not a Catholic holy day, it is purely a secular invention and an excuse for people to over eat and get drunk. It was originally the last day without fasting and abstinence before Lent began. However, the majority of those celebrating today are not even Catholic and have no plans of doing any form of penance during Lent.
