The Ember Days (BCP pg. 260), which date back to the early centuries of the faith, are days of fasting at the change of the season. They are a time to thank God for the seasons and harvest gifts, or petition Him with our prayers (BCP pg. 39-40 & 51). We remember our clergy (BCP pg. 32) and those in ministry especially on Ember Days. It is traditionally a time for ordinations.
