“For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.”
Isaiah 61:11
The Spring or Lenten Ember Days start on the first Wednesday after Ash Wednesday.
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 flowers and bees that make blessed candles as in for Baptism and upon the altar!

Rogation Day Prayer
All we can do is worth nothing
Unless God blesses the deed;
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
Till God gives life to the seed;
Yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
