"Go to the ant, O sluggard,
and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:
Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain,
provideth her meat for herself in the summer,
and gathereth her food in the harvest."
Proverbs 6:6-8

The Summer or Whit Ember Days start on the first Wednesday after the Solemnity of Pentecost (50 days after Easter).

A day of partial abstinence and fasting, where you can eat meat as part of your main meal, but the other two meals should be small and not equal to a full meal.

We give thanks for the wheat used to make the Eucharist hosts
