Is there a name in English for the Saturday and Sunday that precede the weekend of Carnival?

The phrase I'm trying to translate is:

"O Carnaval começa oito dias antes, no domingo magro."

Thanks

Sunday before Carnival

O Domingo Magro é o que precede o Domingo Gordo - julgo que não existe tradução e a mais aproximada para Domingo Gordo, que também me parece não existir, seria "Sunday Gras", pelo que traduziria como acima
