Mang� Les Morts?

[nect4r]

On my calendar, it says that April 30th is "Mang� Les Morts" day.

I googled for more info but it just threw up stuff about voodoo and not a definition in a nutshell - can anyone help? :)

Sorry for the late reply, but the phrase "Mange Les Morts" directly translates as "Eat the Dead".
