The day before Lent starts, "traditionally," a day of excess and vice.

I know. I have a byzantine friend and I tease him about having to start Lent early. ya'll don't even get a fat tuesday.

Of course, generally there are fewer liturgical abuses in a Byzantine Liturgy than in your typical Latin rite Mass...tradeoff I suppose.

I've definitely never heard of Fat Tuesday.

Mardis = Tuesday
Gras = Fat or grease.
