“The observance of Ember days is the cherished tradition in the Roman Church. Four times a year, at the turn of the seasons, it was the custom to devote 3 days of the week, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdayt o prayer and fasting, so as to implore God’s blessing on the new season and on the ordinations which took place during the vigil on the Saturday-Sunday night. Advent, which is a later institution, has imbued the December Ember days with the distinctive note of expectation and preparation for Christmas.” (St Andrew Daily Missal)
