New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Medieval harlequin history is preserved in Mardi Gras celebrations, which culminate today, the day before Ash Wednesday. An old French spelling, hellequin, associates these madcap performers with the underworld and the night-riding demons who live there. Today is the last day to put those demons behind you, for tomorrow begins the season of Lent. [2022]
