	Septuagesima (Catholic Encyclopedia) - BibleWiki
		Septuagesima is the ninth Sunday before Easter, the third before Lent known among the Greeks as "Sunday of the Prodigal" from the Gospel, Luke, xv, which they read on this day, called also Dominica Circumdederunt by the Latins, from the first word of the Introit of the Mass.
		Septuagesima is today inaugurated in the Roman Martyrology by the words: "Septuagesima Sunday, on which the canticle of the Lord, Alleluja, ceases to be said".
		On the Saturday preceding, the Roman Breviary notes that after the "Benedicamus" of Vespers two Alleluias are to be added, that thenceforth it is to be omitted till Easter, and in its place "Laus tibi Domine" is to be said at the beginning of the Office.

	Newman Reader - Tracts - Roman Breviary
		Nay, further than this, since it is exactly nine calendar months from Septuagesima to Pentecost 23rd, it follows that, whatever be the day of the month in January or February on which Septuagesima falls, on the same day of the month in October or November respectively does Pentecost 23rd fall.
		And all along the two series of possible Septuagesima and possible 23rd Pentecost Days, the number of the day of the month on which Septuagesima Sunday falls is the same as the number of the day of the month on which, in the same year, the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost falls.
		Pentecost 23rd may be as early.as October 18; Septuagesima as late as February 21; this whole interval from October 18 in one year to February 21 in the next, is one hundred and twenty-five days, or eighteen weeks.

		Septuagesima (in full, Septuagesima Sunday) is the name given to the third from the last Sunday before Lent in the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches.
		Pursuant to the terms of the new liturgical calendar adopted after the Second Vatican Council, Septuagesima, Sexagesima and Quinquagesima Sundays were dropped from the Novus Ordo-based calendar and the period encompassing them was added to the installment of Ordinary Time after Epiphany.
		The earliest Septuagesima Sunday can occur is January 18 and the latest is February 22.

		Septuagesima (in full, Septuagesima Sunday) is the name formerly given to the third from thelast Sunday before Lent in the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches.
		Some have theorized, however, that Septuagesima may havebeen added to the liturgical calendar to commemorate the Babylonian Captivity, which lasted 70 years(there is evidence that some early Christians began fasting 70 days before Easter, but whether that custom originatedfrom this is not entirely clear).
		Purple vestments were worn during the period from Septuagesima Sunday throughShrove Tuesday until the aforementioned calendar reform took place; now green is used, as in the rest of Ordinary Time which the change made it a part.

	The Golden Legend: Septuagesima
		The Septuagesima was instituted for three reasons; like as Master John Beleth putteth in the office of the Church.
		That other reason is for the signification of the time, for by this time is signified to us the time of deviation, of going out of the way of exile, and of tribulation of the human lineage, from sith Adam unto the end of the world.
		And because that Septuagesima signifieth the time of our captivity, the remedy is proposed to us by which we may be, delivered, in flying the misery by running, by victory in fighting, and by the penny in us ayenbyeng.

	Blunt's Commentary
		Pamelius considers that Septuagesima was so called in commemoration of the seventy years' captivity of Israel in Babylon, and that the other two Sundays following were named from it by analogy.
		Septuagesima is, indeed, only sixty-three days distant from Easter, but Quinquagesima is forty-nine; and the nearly correct character of the appellation in the latter case seems to support this theory.
		Thus on Septuagesima the Epistle of the Christian strife for the mastery represents Temperantia, the Gospel of the labourers, and the penny a day, Justicia.

	What’s the Story?: A comparison of four poems by Jorie Graham and John Burnside
		‘Septuagesima’ is accessibly organised into five stanzas of three verses each with an unambiguous first person narrator dreaming in the present tense of a moment which belongs firmly in the past.
		Septuagesima is celebrated in winter, preceding the prescribed waiting period of Lent.
		Whereas ‘Septuagesima’ was treated as the symbolic prologue to ‘Gesture’, in this pairing, ‘Penelope’ will be treated as the symbolic epilogue to ‘Hurry and Delay’ because Burnside provides a vision of what may have happened after the events of Graham’s poem.

		The period between Christmas and Septuagesima Sunday is known as Christmastide.
		Septuagesima Sunday can fall anywhere between January 16th and February 22nd, depending on the date of the following Easter Sunday.
		The season of Septuagesima is a preparation for Lent (just as Lent is a period of preparation for Easter, the feast of Christ's resurrection.)

	Those Gesimas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Septuagesima, Sexagesima and Quinquagesima are in fact three Latin words and they indicate how far away we are from Easter - that is, 70, 60 and 50 days respectively.
		In Rome and the West, Septuagesima (the 70th) day before Easter was regarded as the beginning of the preparation for Easter and thus it was natural to attract to itself the theme of The Beginning, that is the Creation of the world by the Father through the Son and with the Holy Ghost.
		The Collect for Septuagesima which begins the short cycle anticipates two chief ideas of Lent - the confession of our sin and its just punishment, and the prayer for forgiveness from God's mercy in Jesus Christ.

		And this is the reason that now we read you the book of Genesis, where that sin is recorded, and where you may see the first persons of the world, from whom we all descend, banished out of paradise for it, to the servitude and afflictions of this life.
		Septuagesima is a state of servitude and affliction, that the chiefest of Adam's posterity had seventy years together in Babylon.
		For that ejection of his from thence put both him, and us, into the state and con-dition wherein now we are, the condition of a Septuagesima servitude, that is, of captivity and thraldom under sins and affliction all our life long; for so long is usually the term of a man's life.

	PenaceMustIncrease
		The season introduced by Septuagesima Sunday is given us by the Tradition of Holy Mother Church to prepare us for the rigors of the forty days of Lent, which will begin in earnest on Ash Wednesday, February 9, 2005.
		The liturgical calendar is such this particular year that the season of Septuagesima impinges on the joy of the Christmas season, which does not end until the Feast of the Purification of Our Lady, February 2, 2005.
		The season that commenced on Septuagesima Sunday and continues today on Sexagesima Sunday reminds us that we must live in accord with the liturgical calendar of the Church, thus placing what should be an habitual spirit of penance into a higher state of assiduous and faithful practice.

		At Vespers the night before Septuagesima Sunday, the usual single alleluia is doubled as a final sign of joyfulness before the penitential season that will last for the next seventy days.
		It is most appropriate to the Septuagesima season, as it is used in part as the Tract for Septuagesima Sunday.

		This liturgical period is a prelude to Lent and a remote preparatation for Easter.
		Again the Martyrology introduces Septuagesima Sunday as that on which "we lay side the song of the Lord which is Alleluia." " How," said the people of Israel, "shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?"
		This "strange land" is for the people of Christ, the world, which is a place of exile, while Alleluia, the chant St. John heard in heaven, will begin again in the liturgy at Paschaltide, which represents the future life.

		It is the first day of a period of mourning and penance, preparatory to the great penitential period of Lent.
		On the Saturday preceding Septuagesima two _alleluias_ are added to the Benedicamus and Deo Gratias, to intimate that the period of rejoicing in the Saviour's birth has passed.
		Violet, the penitential colour, is used at Mass, and the chapters in Genesis recording the fall of Adam, warn man to think well, to humble himself and to do penance.

		As Septuagesima (Latin for "seventy") is seventy days before Easter, it typologically commemorates the seventy years of exile spent by the Jews in Babylon.
		After the Saturday office of None or at some point of the afternoon on the day before Septuagesima Sunday, the choir gathers in the church where it carries a plaque or banner bearing the word "Alleluia" through the church as it sings the touching hymn, "Alleluia, dulce carmen" (part of which is quoted elsewhere
		An older tradition that has lamentably been forgotten, on the other hand, is that of the Holy Sepulchre, a special shrine set up to house either the Blessed Sacrament or a crucifix which the faithful could visit on Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

		With the season of Septuagesima begins the second cycle of the Church's year.
		Easter means our Lord in conflict with the devil and the powers of evil from which he issues triumphant, crushing Satan and rising in glory taking us in his wake to our heavenly home; Easter means the redemption of man obtained at the price of the cross.
		The liturgical season which begins with Septuagesima and continues until the end of Lent is marked as a period of struggle and toil which we must undergo with Christ, leading, by his grace, to the victory and triumphant joy of Easter.

	Burying the Alleluia
		The depositio (discontinuance) of the Alleluia on the eve of Septuagesima [the Sunday prior to Ash Wednesday] assumed in medieval times a solemn and emotional note of saying farewell to the beloved song.
		The liturgical office on the eve of Septuagesima was performed in many churches with special solemnity, and alleluias were freely inserted in the sacred text, even to the number of twenty-eight final alleluias in the church of Auxerre in France.
		"On Saturday before Septuagesima Sunday all choir boys gather in the sacristy during the prayer of the None, to prepare for the burial of the Alleluia.
