<holidayfyi-glossary slug="ember-days"></holidayfyi-glossary>Sets of three days within the same week — Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday — occurring four times a year in the Western Christian liturgical calendar, designated for fasting, prayer, and gratitude at seasonal transitions: after 13 December (St. Lucy), after Ash Wednesday, after Pentecost, and after 14 September (Holy Cross Day). Though largely fallen out of popular practice, ember days were historically significant as penitential markers connecting the liturgical year to the agricultural cycle and are the origin of the phrase 'four seasons' in a liturgical context.
