We are headed to New Orleans - a city with a rich history.
The city's symbol, the Fleur de Lys, has its roots when the French founded New Orleans. The French flag carried this ancient symbol of the Holy Trinity emblazoned on the Royal French flag.
The colors the city uses for Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold. The Rex parade (one of the Mardi Grad parades) theme "Symbolism of Colors" gave meaning to these colors. Purple Represents Justice. Green Represents Faith. Gold Represents Power. Legend has it the colors where to honor the visiting Russian Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich Romanoff who used them as his royal colors.
We are headed to NOLA! I can't wait!
