Description
Today on Louisiana Considered, Mardi Gras might be over, but Ash Wednesday has arrived. We look back on a 2015 story to hear how New Orleanians transitioned from a season of carnival celebrations to a time of religious reflection and sacrifice. Plus, we go back to the archives to hear how footage of the Krewe of Rex rolling through New Orleans in 1898 was recently uncovered. And, Washington DC’s Mardi Gras was almost four weeks ago; we’ll talk about a museum exhibit highlighting that celebration.
