	Sunday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sunday is considered either the first or the seventh day of the week, between Saturday and Monday, and the second day of the weekend in some cultures.
		Sunday was declared the day of worship by the Council of Nicea circa 325 A.D. Groups that accepted the authority of that Council have kept Sunday ever since.
		Septuagesima Sunday, before 1970, was the third from the last Sunday before Lent.

	Septuagesima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Some have theorized, however, that Septuagesima may have been 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 originated from this is not entirely clear).
		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.

	Septuagesima
		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.
		Why the day (or the week, or the period) has the name Septuagesima, and the next Sunday Sexagesima, etc., is a matter of dispute among writers.
		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".

	Septuagesima Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Septuagesima and Lent are both times of penance, Septuagesima being a time of voluntary fasting in preparation for the obligatory Great Fast of Lent -- but most often kept as a pre-Lenten Carnevale -- a time of getting celebrations out of one's system before the Great Fast.
		Septuagesima means 70, and Septuagesima Sunday comes roughly 70 days before Easter.
		Quadragesima means 40, and this is the first Sunday of Lent and the Latin name for the entire season of Lent.

		The Sundays after Epiphany, which form the closing scenes of the Christmas act, should be viewed in their relation to the mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God, for upon this mystery the entire cycle of Christmas is concentrated.
		It is true that many do not consider the Sundays from the third to the sixth after Epiphany as having a character strictly in harmony with the Christmas cycle or even with its closing part, the time after Epiphany.
		Septuagesima Sunday draws back the curtain that conceals darkness within, only a faint glow of the coming Resurrection being visible in the distance far beyond.

		Excluding Sundays - which are never days of fasting - it lasts 40 days, in imitation of Christ's fast in the desert (recounted in the Gospel of the first Sunday of Lent).
		Paschaltide, which begins on Easter Sunday, runs for 50 days and is followed by the feast of Pentecost (or Whitsunday), which marks the start of the Season after Pentecost.

	Medieval Sourcebook: The Golden Legend: Septuagesima (Vol 1)
		The Septuagesima was instituted for three reasons; like as Master John Beleth putteth in the office of the Church.
		And in the Saturday after Easter in which Septuagesima is complete, we sing double alleluia, in figuring the plain gladness that they had when they were returned into their country.
		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.

		It is celebrated on a Sunday on varying dates between March 22 and April 25 and is therefore called a movable feast.
		The dates of several other ecclesiastical festivals, extending over a period between Septuagesima Sunday (the ninth Sunday before Easter) and the first Sunday of Advent, are fixed in relation to the date of Easter.
		This Sunday is sometimes called Forgiveness Sunday because at the end of the service worshipers ask the priest and one another for forgiveness for their sins.

	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.

	SEPTUAGESIMA.
		"During the age of the persecutions it was scarcely possible for Christians to observe any other festival than Sunday, and so it is not surprising that the two writers who have occasion to speak of the institution of the festivals of the Church, mention only Easter and Pentecost, both of which fall on a Sunday.
		The way for this development had been prepared by the season of preparation for Easter, and the Sundays in the fifty days between Easter and Pentecost-- Quinquagesima--were marked with the festal character with which antiquity invested the whole period.
		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.

		A.D. 545, many pious ecclesiastics and lay persons of the primitive Church used to fast seventy days before Easter, and their fast was called, therefore, Septuagesima, a name which was afterwards retained to distinguish this Sunday from others.
		The same was the case with the three following Sundays; many Christians beginning their fast sixty days before Easter, whence the name Sexagesima; others fifty days, whence Quinquagesima; others forty days, whence Quadragesima.
		Alcuin and Amalarius say that the captivity of the Jews in Babylon first suggested it; for as the Jews were obliged to do penance seventy years, that they might thereby merit to return into the promised land, so Christians sought to regain the grace of God by fasting for seventy days.

		The Prayers found in the Liturgy for those three Sundays reflect the perilous times in which they were written.
