Since the founding of the Rex Organization in 1872, its traditions have helped define Mardi Gras. Rex’s Proclamation invites his subjects to the grand celebration of Carnival. His royal colors of purple, green, and gold are to this day the colors of Mardi Gras, and the song played in the first Rex parade, “If Ever I Cease to Love,” has become Carnival’s anthem. Rex and his Queen preside over the Rex Ball, Carnival’s glittering conclusion.
Rex is an all male Krewe, and currently has around 600 members.
From atop his float, Rex greets his subjects on Mardi Gras day. At Gallier Hall he will exchange greetings with the city’s leaders, and at the official reviewing stand at the Hotel Intercontinental he will pause to toast the Queen of Carnival and the Rex Court.
“Spirits of Spring”The theme for the 2009 Rex Procession is “Spirits of Spring.” Ancient cultures looked forward to and celebrated the arrival of Spring after the dark days of winter, and this magical time inspired the creation of beautiful symbols of renewal and rebirth.From Persephone to Poseidon to Eostre, ancient cultures created legends, myths, and festivals celebrating the arrival of Spring after the harsh winter. This theme is also meant to symbolize the renewal and rebirth of the City of New Orleans.
Rex means king and therefore their symbol is the crown. In celebration of Rex, the etsy store Tiff Nifty Thrifty has offered to something to make your little one feel like royalty.
