Yesterday was Ash Wednesday,
and marked the beginning Of Lent.
At the end of the forty days fast
comes Essster.
The observance OF Lent is as old
as Christianity, but there was in
early times some uncertainty as to
the length of the fast. At length
Pope Gregory, the Great $780,, d.
rected that the guadragesimal fast
should begin on the sixth Sunday
before Easter, and that all the in
tervening week days should be fast
days. As this however, only gave
thlrty-six such days, the last four
days of the preceding week were
added, either by that Pope or by
Gregory II (715) The solemn fast
then began on Ash Wednesday,
which was thenceforwsrd called "the
beginning of the fast"
All Catholics and members of the
Episcopal church will observe Lent
In the United States the use OF flesh
meat by Roman Catholics is allowed
several times a week, in accordance
with the requests made by each
bishop for his diocese. But fish and
flesh are never allowed during Lent
at the same meal. In nearly all the
Protestant churches of continental
Europe, particularly in the Lutheran
church, Lent is still a penitential
season. The Church of England still
keeps the Lenten fast on it's calendar
with appropriate services, as does the
Protestant Episcopal church.
