Ash \Vcdnesday which falls this Year on February 14.},and marks the beginning of the Lenten season, car- ries the remindcii~ that the best and worst of winter are‘ behind us, and springtime approaches. Religiously considered. Ash Wedhesday takes’its name from the ceremonial use of ash- es as a symbol of penitence. which is traced back to the penance of sack- cloth and ashes spoken of by the Old Testament prophets. ' Prior to the Reformation, all Chris- tian believers conformcdflo ihis an- cient ceremonial. Its use has been abandoned in later days “by the re— formed churches. and is new retained by the communieants Of the Church of Rome alone; in whose place. of worship ashes obtained from the burning of palms blest on Palm Sun— day of the year previous are thrice sprinkled with holy water and censed. Thereafter the officiating priests make the Sign of the Cross upon the fore- head of communicants with the thumb dipped in-eonsecrated ashes. interning the words; "Remember. man, that thou art dust. and unto dust thou shalt return." This custom dates back at least to the early days of the Eighth Century. .. Among the reformed churches. the n Commination Service, parts of which are taken i‘rom the Benedietus Cincrnm in the old Sarum Manual. and a distinctive element or which is the reading of God‘s condemnation of impcnitcnt sinners from the Batik of- Deuteronomy. The Prayer Book of the Episcopal Church provides a special Pcnitential Office for Ash \Vcdncsday which includes the more ancient part or the Comminatlon Serv- ice. It is an impressive service of penitcnt confession .nnd supplieation, and is said kneeling. in the Anglican and Lutheran Com- munions as well as in the Roman Catholic. however. Ric Lenten Fast is still maintained; and though through the’year the period of fasting has tre- qucntly variad. by common acceptance among all Christian Communions the lorty day period is now observed: and not without ’asons since “forty" is a scriptural number.

In mediaeval times meat. eggs and milk were for- bidden in Lent, not only by ecclesiasti- cal. but by statute law. It is from this. prohibitou oi the eating or eggs, that the Easter egg custom of modern times grew. The chief Lenten food fr‘om the earliest. days was fish and in the England of Edward Ill herring pies were so great a delicacy that charters granted to seaports often stipuated that the town should send so many herring: or other fish to the King during the Lenten Season. The strictest abstinence was enforced. and to such an extent that during the Siege of Orleans in 1429 the besieg. ing army was reduced to starvation through lack of Lenten food. though in full possession of meat and other supplies. A writer in the Encyclo- pacdia Brittaniea, states that the Battle of the Herring's. February 1429, was fought to cover the march 'of the convoy of Lenten food to the British Army before the beieagured city. This strict observance of Lent has gradually been softened. though it continued to be incuteated by such earnest Churehmen as \Villiam Law and John “Wesley: and the custom or women wearing mourning in Lent. uesduy the Lenten Season really env- ;.1rs :1 period of forty six days. but as Sunday has always been regarded as a. Feast, these ‘six Sundays are rich counted as belonging to the Fast. ° The word Lent is derivco from the old Anglo-saxon word Leneten. mean- ing Spring. and. as the fast falls in the early part or the year. by common usage Lent is now generally associated with the beginning of Spring. which coms to mull flower with the Easter rrnwakening of life. The first men- tion of Lent is found in a Canon of the Council oLNieea. 325 A!D.. and in the Christian Church is known as the p. rind of fasting preparatory to this Easter Festival.
