La Mi-Carême was an ancient festival in Francophone countries: still celebrated in certain villages in France and in some Francophone areas of Canada. The celebration closely resembled that of Mardi Gras in Louisiana.
It falls half-way in the Lenten season: the Thursday of the third entire week of Lent.
