THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND, OREGON 16 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1020. Xenten Reason of Jfasting and penitence of IBeyout pfegin on Wednesday LENTEN PROGRAM ES ARRANGED FOR LOCAL ! Special Services Will Be Held on Ash Wednesday; Topics of Lectures Given; Early History. 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.
