The Boeuf Gras, meaning in French, “Fatted Ox,” is a traditional symbol of the last meal eaten before entering the sacrificial season of Lent. It is a celebration of the final nights of excess consumption before a period of fasting. In New Orleans, a fiber glass boeuf gras, typically white, posted on a float is lead through the streets in Mardi Gras parades.
