Mardi Gras Unmasked 🎭 Mardi Gras is the largest masked fête in North America. But why masks? . Centuries ago, Mardi Gras goers — taking cues from Medieval European masquerade balls celebrating Carnival — began wearing masks to conceal their identities. This created a way to escape class, age, religion, and race-related restraints during the festivities, and gave revelers permission to be whoever they pleased and mingle with whomever they liked without facing social consequences. . This tradition became especially pronounced during the Jim Crow era, as Black Americans found masquerading a necessary means to escape racial constraints and join the holiday festivities. As Krewes began to formalize Mardi Gras by throwing elite balls and parades, more and more revelers began donning masks and elaborate costumes. . Today, masquerading on Mardi Gras is still a widely-shared tradition, with mask-wearing being legalized in Louisiana only on Fat Tuesday. While the practice of wearing masks does not carry as much weight as it once did, masquerading is still fun a way to add excitement and mystery to the merriment of Mardi Gras. ⚜️ . #MardiGras #FatTuesday #masquerade #masquerademask #sale #beautysale #frenchgirlorganics #likeafrenchgirl #sustainableluxury #veganskincare #crueltyfreebeauty #ecofriendly #ethicalbrand #cleanbeauty #greenbeauty #selfcare #skincare」2月29日 2時36分
