Ash Wednesday, wh^n most gar
deners begin their operations, falls
on February 14th this year. It
marks the beginning of the Lenten
season and carries the reminder that
the best and worst of winter has
passed and springtime approaches.
Religiously considered, Ash Wednes
day takes fts name from the cere
monial use of ashes as a synlbol of
penitence, which is traced back to
the penance of sackcloth and ashes
spoken of by the Old Testament
prophets. !
By common acceptance among all
Christian Communions, the forty-
day period of Lent is now observed,
and not without reason since “forty”
is a script urn! number. For forty
years, for illustration, the children
of Israel were under discipline in
the Wilderness. Moses fasted for
ty days on the Mount. Elijah was
forty days in the Wilderness. For
forty days Christ fasted before en
tering upon his public ministry.
Beginning with Ash Wedneedgy the
Lenten Season really cavers a pe
riod of days, bat as Sunday has
I always been regarded as a Feast.

This strict observance of Lent has
gradually been softened, though it
continued to be inculcated by such
earnest Churchmen as William I-aw
and John Wesley; and the custom of
women wearing mourning in Lent,
which had been followed by Queen
Elizabeth and her Court, survived
well into the 19th century. Here, in
America, in the Episcopal and Luth
eran Chucghes as. well as in the Ro
man Catholic Church,'while conform
ation to the rules laid down jfor fast-
ing is urged, a tolerant policy is ob
served and the devout are neither
required nor expected to engago in
such fasting as might "be deleterious
to health.
