	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rogation Days
		The Major Rogation, which has no connexion with the feast of St. Mark (fixed for this date much later) seems to be of very early date and to have been introduced to counteract the ancient Robigalia, on which the heathens held processions and supplications to their gods.
		The Minor Rogations were introduced by St. Mamertus, Bishop of Vienne, and were afterwards ordered by the Fifth Council of Orleans, which was held in 511, and then approved by Leo III (795-816).
		An exception is made in favour of the patron or titular of the church, of whom the Mass is said with a commemoration of the Rogation.

	Rogation Sunday
		Rogation comes from the Latin rogare, meaning “to ask.” When the church began observing rogation days in the fifth century, the prayers asked that God protect the corn from mildew, but now we ask more generally for God’s blessing on all things agricultural.
		Of course, the custom of praying for the gods to bless the harvest is as old as civilization itself, and the further you go back in history, the more frequent and intense these prayers will be.
		Help us to use those gifts to connect ourselves to the great cycles of nature that have their origin and end in you.
