{wiki=Ember_days}
Ember Days are a set of days observed in the Christian liturgical calendar, traditionally marked by fasting and prayer. They occur four times a year—specifically in the weeks following the Feast of the Epiphany, Pentecost, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 14), and Advent. The purpose of Ember Days is to give thanks for the harvest, to encourage reflection on the changing seasons, and to provide a time for spiritual renewal.
