Without looking it up, can anyone tell me where the birthplace of Mardi Gras was and what year it began?

Why, of course! It was formed in the year 1201 by Armenian peasants, who loved to dress up and parade through the town.

Oh, I forgot! It was the Persians in 1189! They decorated Babylon with palm fronds and ate dates all day.

French Catholics brought Mardi Gras to what is now the southern US in the 1700s it is a continuation of pre Lenten celebrations that did, and continue to take place across Europe.

This quiz is not for me. It's for the rest of you. Besides, I didn't have to look it up. It's on the T-shirt I'm wearing.

The first mardi gras took place in Mobile, AL in 1703.
Did you realize that Mr. Mardi and Mrs. Gras got married in 1703, and their wedding ceremony became the Mardi Gras celebration each year?
