Maundy Thursday. Jesus gave the Last Supper, visited Gethsemane, was captured by Roman guards, etc. It is also celebrated in the Lutheran church which does not adhere to any Catholic beliefs.
There is also Holy Saturday. The rest of Holy Week (Jesus's last week that he was alive) was unnamed.
Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday are the beginnings of Lent. Good Friday occurs at the end of Lent obviously several weeks later. It is just a coincidence that they appear to go one day after the other.
Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) was the last day that gluttony and other sins were permitted before sacrificing all needs and wants for Lent which begins on Ash Wednesday.
Good Friday is when Jesus was crucified.

Holy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter, and is considered the beginning of the Passion of the Lord commemorations. It is observed in commemoration of the day of the Last Supper during which Jesus Christ instituted the Eucharist.
Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, and it the final day before the penitential season of Lent begins, when people customarily "give things up for Lent."
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent.
Good Friday is observed in commemoration of the day on which Jesus was crucified.
The Sunday before Easter is called "Passion Sunday" and the entire week between Passion Sunday and Easter Sunday is called "Holy Week"

Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras is celebrated as a day of revelry and plenty before Lent, a time of afsting, is observed. Ash Wednesday is the start of the Lenten season.
Good Friday is traditionally celebrated as the day Christ died and Sunday as the day he rose from the dead.
The other days of the week really hold no inherent significance in the Easter Cycle.

Holy Thursday.
It's Catholic, day right before Good Friday towards the end of Lent.
Margie- Fat Tuesday is Mardi Gras [it's French, Mardi- Tuesday; Gras- Grease or Fat] , the last day before the Lenten season. So everyone pigs out on meat [it used to be no meat at all during Lent but now it's just on Fridays. But meat would be a HUGE part in Mardi Gras like entire roast pigs and stuff] and is all decadent and has a ball.
EDIT:
Haha. Oh wow. Thumbs down for a fact for the sheer reason it's related to anything religious? Way to use your brain.

Thanksgiving is Thursday... they stole December 25th, so why not give 'em this too?
There's White Sunday... it's like Mother's/Father's Day, but for kids.
Ummm... Final Friday, it's just a good day to die because of the way it sounds.
And Sucky Saturday, 'cuz that's just a sucky day to die or spend in church, you know?
