The day of Christmas has passed, but the Carnival celebration has just begun.

Colin talks about the Carnival season in Louisiana that starts on Epiphany and lasts until Mardi Gras.

This season is often associated with excess and vice, but there are all kinds of worthwhile traditions that Catholics love.

The colors of the season, for example, represent the three liturgical seasons it intersects: Gold for Christmas, green for Ordinary Time, and purple for Lent.

Using moderation, you can really appreciate this season and use it to continue the celebration of Christ’s coming.

Grab some friends and some king cake and have a blast!
