Ash Wednesday, thi coming: week,
opens Lt-nt, which will laet 40 days,
or until Easter Sunday, April 4.
This soason of fasting and penitence
which is observed in Portland by the
clergy and by an .increasing number
of the laity, has an Interesting his
tory. The lenffth of the fast and the rigor j
with which it has been observed have
varied greatly at different times and In
different countries. In the time of Ire
riaeus the ' fast before Easter was very
sjhort, but severe. Some persons ate
nothing during the 40 hours between
Good Friday and Easter morning. Dur
ing the third century it was customary
to observe Holy week only.
EARLY HISTORY TRACED
First mention of the Lenten fast Is
made in the fifth canon of the Council
of Nicaea 325). Since then it Is fre
quently mentioned, sometimes as a pe
riod of preparation for baptism.
Ash Wednesday derived its name
from the custom of appearing In ashes
and sack cloth while doln penance.
In England a Lenten fast was first
ordered to bo observed by Earconberht,
king of Kent (640-664). In the middle
ages, meat, eggs and milk were forbid
den in Lent.
The chief Lenten food was fish. Her
ring pies were a delicacy. Charters
granted to seaports often stimlated
that the town should send so many her
rings to the king annually during Lent.
Armies were sometimes reduced to
the point df starvation for want of per
missible food, although plenty of meat
was on hand, so strictly were Lenten
rules observed.

observance of Lent. Proclamations
