Ember days (R. C. & Eng. Ch.), days set apart for fasting
and prayer in each of the four seasons of the year. The
Council of Placentia [A. D. 1095] appointed for ember days
the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday after the first Sunday
in Lent, Whitsuntide, the 14th of September, and the 13th
of December. The weeks in which these days fall are called
ember weeks.
[1913 Webster]
