I love how you pointed out that the tradition of flambeaux is associated with slavery. it begs the question, should traditions like these die out, or continue in a new way? If I ever get down to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, I'll be sure to pay attention to the neighborhood family traditions. BTW, I like your pirate costume. it looks like a fun day!THE SNEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937574663296944130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464278377527384610.post-25752876584982462682011-05-29T12:02:30.984-07:002011-05-29T12:02:30.984-07:00Judie, you always have such fascinating nuggets of...Judie, you always have such fascinating nuggets of golden information to share with us.

To tell you the truth, I always thought that Mardi Gras was all about getting out onto the streets, lots of drinking and dancing (and sometimes getting a little wild) kinda like spring break. Guess I never knew there was so much behind the *real* Mardi Gras celebrations! Mardi Gras sounds a lot more fun than how I learned about it in college!

I join those who think the tradition of flambeaux should live on, both to remember the history as it really was (I say NO to revisionism) and to continue the fun with honor to those who participate. I'd like to see both the bawdy and the family side of this famous festival.Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733111654769386624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464278377527384610.post-41676874150601931592011-05-28T00:53:51.222-07:002011-05-28T00:53:51.222-07:00That was interesting and entertaining...despite th...That was interesting and entertaining...despite the sad history...like others have said, newer perceptions can be created. it looks like fun...besides it has its origins in a pre-christianity Roman circus like festival.

The tourists who come only see the French Quarter side, and don't know just how many family traditions are involved in this celebration. We are not about showing our private parts at all!!
