Ember days

The four seasons of fasting and prayer, with their dates

Ember days are the Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of four weeks of the year: after the 3rd Sunday of Advent, after the 1st Sunday of Lent, in the octave of Pentecost, and after the feast of the Holy Cross (September 14). Each has its own Mass, with extra lessons on the Saturday.
