On the corner of St. Charles Avenue and State Street sits a stately mansion, worthy of all the pomp and circumstance associated with Uptown New Orleans. But, you must remember, New Orleans, with all of her history, elegance and, yes, excesses, is also a city with a grand sense of humor in which its denizens know well how to celebrate "The Season." And when, exactly, is that season? I would say it begins with Halloween and lasts through Dirty Linen night at the end of summer...so it's effectively the entire year. However, Halloween, the season's opener, is worthy of further explanation as its origin is inextricably woven into the Catholic fabric of New Orleans. We all know October 31 is Halloween, but the date also marks the evening before All Saints Day. November 1 is the day on which Catholics and many Anglicans honor all their saints or hallows, hence the name All Hallows' Eve. In the carnival celebrations of All Hallows' Eve, our ancestors utilized humor and ridicule to fully face death.So, New Orleanians, with their love for the saints and their propensity for satire, have finely honed this ridiculing weapon into a grand citywide carnival manifest in the parties and decorations that line the finest avenues and most humble residences alike. There is no distinction. All are included in this grand celebration. Observe the photos of the mansion at St. Charles and State Street. Marvel at the history and tradition. Join us as we begin the next "Season" that is exclusively New Orleans.
