The Quinquagesima dureth from the Sunday in which is sung in the Church in the office of the mass, Esto mihi, etc. And that endeth on Easter day, and is instituted for supplication and fulfilling, for signification, and for representation.

 Lent & Beyond… » Dr Peter Toon: Preparing for Lent & Praying for the Primates
Last week we acknowledged the very difficult to accept lesson that we should not trust in human doing and achievement at all for salvation, even if it be as spectacular as the work of a St Paul, and even if be undertaken for the Gospel’s sake.
Having gone humbly through the mini preparation for the major season of Lent, from Septuagesima to Quinquagesima, we are now ready by God’s prevenient grace to enter into the spiritual disciplines which begin on Ash Wednesday and move into Quadragesima.
One thing we lean afresh in the preparation for Lent and the keeping of it is that the genuine confession of sins from a contrite heart is in fact the praise of God, for it is a supreme acknowledgement of his justice, his mercy and forgiveness.

Secondly, Quinquagesima signifies the time of the remission of sins: for every fifty years there used to be a jubilee year, during which debts were remitted, slaves were freed, and all recovered their goods.
For every fifty years the slaves were set at liberty; fifty days after the immolation of the lamb, the Law was given; and fifty days after Easter the Holy Spirit came down from Heaven.

By this time, the whole crowd of his kinsmen and connections was rushing out from the capital, for they were hurrying, as they thought, to overtake the Emperor according to their agreement with him.

 Is Lent exactly 40 days or more?
Later, at the start of the sixth century, the beginning of Lent was moved up to Ash Wednesday in order to guarantee 40 days of effective fasting, and follow literally the example of the Lord Jesus (Matthew 4 and Luke 4).
This moving of the period of fasting back from the Monday after Quadragesima to begin on what became known as Ash Wednesday (the Wednesday after Quinquagesima) is still reflected in the Collect for the First Sunday in Lent in The Book of Common Prayer (editions of 1662, 1928 and 1962).
The Collect for the first Sunday is interestingly one of the very few such prayers addressed to the Lord Jesus Christ, rather than to his Father in heaven; and it does concern the discipline of abstinence and fasting.
