This page is not a snapshot. The figures are recalculated every time it loads, using the -04:00 time zone, so tomorrow the count will be one day larger. If you bookmark the page you will always see the current gap rather than the number that was true on the day you saved it, and nobody has to edit anything for that to stay correct.

Planning around the date

About Mardi Gras

Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, computed from that year's Easter date. Because Mardi Gras is a religious observance, many families organize travel, meals, services and time off around it. Congregations usually publish their own schedules, so treat the date here as the calendar date and confirm local timings with your community.

Mardi Gras is worked out from Easter Sunday: it falls 47 days before Easter, so it moves whenever Easter moves.
