Mardi Gras, known as "Fat Tuesday," marks a vibrant season of revelry before the solemn
observance of Lent. Our sock features a lively harlequin pattern in the traditional Mardi Gras colors—purple symbolizing justice, green for faith, and yellow representing power—reflecting the underlying themes of penance and the rewards of virtuous deeds. Embracing the French origins of New Orleans, the sock also incorporates a French cross, while the fleur de lis, a graceful stylized lily, carries dual symbolism, representing both the Virgin Mary and the Holy Trinity. Encompassing the joyous and carefree spirit of Mardi Gras, the phrase "Laissez les bons temps rouler" (Let the good times roll) is on the bottom of our sock and underscores the exuberant celebration before the contemplative season of Lent begins.
