Kids want to enjoy the Mardi Gras season just as much as the
adults; however, some of the activities aren’t family friendly. If you want to
help your child enjoy the Mardi Gras season, this king cake wreath is a great
option. As you and your child work on the wreath, you can explain the history
and the importance of the colors.
A Brief History of
the Mardi Gras Colors
The history of the Mardi Gras colors dates back to 1872 as
an honor to Russian Grand Duke Alexis Alexis Alexandrovich Romanoff. Grand Duke
Romanoff suggested the colors, which were made official by Rex. The meaning
behind these three colors was confirmed during the “Symbolism of Colors” Rex
parade in 1892.
The Meaning of the
Colors
- Purple is said to symbolize justice.
- Gold is said to symbolize power.
- Green is said to symbolize faith.
