It's not an "obscure holiday" It's a religious holiday....

Mardi Gras is celebrated in New Orleans, Venice and Rio

Fat Tuesday is the day before a religious day of obligation, (Ash Wednesday is traditionally observed with fasting and abstinence from meat in several Christian denominations)

Which is the beginning of Lent,

The French name Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday, from the custom of using all the fats in the home before Lent in preparation for fasting and abstinence.

Been Catholic my entire life. When did Ash Wednesday become a holy day of obligation?
