Cat Tuesday
Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday), with its traditions, was brought to Louisiana by
the French in the 1700s. As a Christian observance, it was marked by a day
of frolicking and feasting in preparation for Ash Wednesday, the beginning
of the Lenten season of fasting and abstinence. Of course,
the fun-loving people of Louisiana expanded the celebration from one day
to weeks, its date depending on Easter Sunday. Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a world-famous period of celebration that has to be seen to be believed. Click on picture for details.

Marie Minou
St. Louis No. 1 dates back to 1789 and is the oldest surviving cemetery
in New Orleans. The tombs in this famous cemetery were originally
constructed of soft red brick and were later covered with plaster and paint
to preserve them from the elements. Even the walls of St. Louis No. 1 were used for burial since high ground was at a premium. The old wall burial places are referred to as "wall ovens" because they resemble
ovens for baking bread. Among the umerous famous and infamous people who have been buried at St. Louis No. 1 cemetery is Marie Laveau,
New Orleans' most notorious voodoo queen. Click on picture for details.
