The LENT SEsAoN.-To-day is the begin
ming of Lent. For the next forty days, in
the Catholic and Episcopalian Churches
particularly, the observance of fasting is
enjoined. In regard to its origin and OBJ
serYance, we find the following in the
American Encyclopedia:
The object of the fast has been disputed,
but it is generally regarded as prepara-
ton for Easter, and a time specially set
apart for repentance over the sins of the
past year; while the number of forty days
devoted to it is thought to have reference
to the Savior's 40 days fast in the wilder
ness, to the 40 days of the deluge. the 40
years wandering of the Jews, the 40 days
granted the Ninevites for repentance, or
the time spent in fasting by Moses and
Elias. st. jerome speaks of the fast as me-
mortal of the Savior's passion. According
to the same writer, as well as st. Leo, st.
Augustine, and most of the fathers OF the
4th and 9TH centuries, it was instituted by
the apostles, although commonly held that
| it was not established until the I'd or Sd
century. I5 seems to have been m 1de OBJ
| ligatory at least as early as A. ID. 500. At
first there was great diversity as to the
time and manner OF its observance. Its
duration was soon fixed by the church at
36 days, to which four were subsequently
added.
The first day of Lent is called Ash We'd
nesday, from custom which still prevails
in the Roman Catholic Church, of sprink-
| ling the head, or forehead, with ashes. 1t
is the 46th day before Easter, the six Sun
days which intervene between it and that
| festival, not being counted as a part of lent,
nor observed as fast days. In the Roman
Catholic Church, the nature of the fast is
prescribed by rule. Only one meal day
| Is allowed, and at this the use of flesh meat
is prohibited, the precept of fasting always
| implying that of abstinence from flesh. A
slight rejection, however, may be taken
Morning and evening, the quantity of food
not to exceed ozs. in the former case and
s ozs. in the latter. But considerable mod
ification of these rules are made in coun-
| tries where the climate or habits of the
people render their observance luxurious to
health, and dispensations are frequently
granted in favor of particular persons. In
the United States the use of flesh meat is
allowed several times week, at the discre-
ton of the Bishops. In the Greek Church
the rules are stricter, and there are four lem
ten fasts in the year. The Protestant de-
nominations, which recognize the season OF
| lent, leave the manner to individual judg-
ment.
