Rare Overlap of Lunar New Year, Fat Tuesday, Ramadan, and Lent - National Today
This Tuesday and Wednesday, the celebrations of Lunar New Year, Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras), Ramadan, and Lent all overlap, a rare occurrence that won't happen again until 2029. The holidays are aligning due to the synchronization of several long solar, lunar, and lunisolar calendar cycles.
