Mardi Gras 2015

Yesterday saw the finale of Rio's Mardi Gras celebrated.  Did you know that this only became a holiday in 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII placed it on the Gregorian calendar?  Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans are the most famous celebrations but it also takes place in Germany, Italy, Trinidad and Mexico.  Not sure what Pope Gregory would think of some of these wonderful outfits :)
