Best Answer

It's the day before Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the start of the season of Lent in Christian tradition -- the season leading up to Easter -- which is supposed to be a period of fasting and sacrifice. Therefore, Carnivale (Carnevale, Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday) is the last day of celebration before beginning the more solemn period of Lent.
