Pope St. Leo the Great thought they extended back to apolsolic times. In any case it is clear that Ember Days were observed from at least the third century to 1968.<BR/><BR/>Would you like me to mail a copy of the article to you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-30271783742434530452008-09-25T13:40:00.000-04:002008-09-25T13:40:00.000-04:00Thoughtful plan.
