Ember day any of a number of days reserved for fasting and prayer in the Western Christian Church. Ember days traditionally comprise the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday following St Lucy's Day (13 December), the first Sunday in Lent, Pentecost (Whitsun), and Holy Cross Day (14 September), though other days are observed locally. They date back at least to 5th-century Rome, probably originating in agricultural festivals, though they have long been associated with ordinations.
Ember is recorded from Old English (in form
ymbren), perhaps an alteration of
ymbryne ‘period’, from
ymb ‘about’ +
ryne ‘course’, perhaps influenced in part by ecclesiastical Latin
quatuor tempera ‘four periods’ (on which the equivalent German
Quatember is based).
