Lent is 40 days long (not counting Sundays) So, to figure out Mardi Gras’ date (for a particular year) first you have to find out what date Easter is falling on. Count back 40 days from the day before Easter (excluding Sundays.) You should have landed on a Wednesday; then you count 1 more and that’ll be Mardi Gras.
