Post-Super Bowl calendar: Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday

New Englanders may be forgiven for not noticing. But there was another extravaganza going on this past weekend aside from Super Bowl frenzy.

It's Mardi Gras time in New Orleans, with parades and parties leading up to tomorrow's culmination.

Watch a video of the celebrations as the city celebrates its post-Katrina recovery.

And remember, after tomorrow's Fat Tuesday indulgences, it's time for Ash Wednesday, and for those who follow the practice, the season of Lent.

In Rhode Island, the Diocese of Providence lists Lenten events and information on its Web site.
