"Mardi Gras" is the '''''only''''' way to say "Shrove Tuesday" in French. Shrove Tuesday is a specific English tradition of a confessional before Lent. In French culture, the last day before Lent is ''Mardi Gras'', '''''never''''' a French translation of "Shrove Tuesday". [[User:DouglasL|DouglasL]] 15:04, 9 March 2011 (EST)

The Vatican liturgical calendar doesn't even include the day before Ash Wednesday.
