New York, Feb. 15. —Tomorrow is Khroye Tuesday, celebrated in many cities both in America and abroad with the annual Mardi Gras festiv ities. The following day will be Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning bf Lent, when social gaities will give place to a season of fasting and prayer for forty days. ' Lent will be especially observed in the Episcopal and Catholic Churches, where special services will be held on Ash jVednea day, Holy Week. Good Friday, Palm Suuday, and ending with the grand tri umphant service on Eaßter Sunday. The word “Lent,” which is derived from the Anglo-Saxon “lenten spring,” from the season in which it occurs, is used to designate the solemn period of devotion and abstinence which has from early times preceded the feast of Easter. It is mentioned as early as the time of Irenaeus in the second century and he speaks of it as not merely -firfrr, rt thn£. bi»* ro- extend over 4 period ifProrty days (pot including days) in order to correspond ‘with the forty days of Christ's temptation in the wilderness and sq to teach the treat test to which every human life must be subjected to prepare it for its MPointed duty and victory. . It is, in fact, an episode in the Oristian life not to be -evaded by tlose who make the year the follow ing of the pathway of Christ through toman life from the manger of Beth jhem which is in sight at Christ ina to the triumph of Easter. Al lough this pathway leads inevitably > the Passion and those who learn ie meaning of that Passion in the ' oluntnry observance of the Lenten < ■ ill not, says the church, pleneh from 1 1 :ie temptations and sorrows of life 1 i r hen they come in the sure course of 4 xperience. The forty days of Lent, ecclesiasti , J Hy, call upon the faithful children ‘f the church for abstinence from the l rdinary social pleasures, for special 6 evot : on to the duties of the Chris an life, for the exercise of self-re t raint and self-sacrifice and for a j ?neral bracing of the tone of the ! nritual life by devout reference to ■ie standard set by Christ Himself. Up to the sixth the Lenten eriod covered only thirty-six daSys, lis being a tenth of the year and, guratively, a tithe of the Christian’s me. It is generally accepted that le time was lengthened by Pope regory the Great. Ash Wednesday, the first day of ent, is so called because in the Rom i Catholic Church it begins with the ilernn ceremony that has given the ly its name. After a supplicatory^ Tvice. the devout approach the altar lil and the,priest places ashes.on ie head of each, reciting in Latin, Remember,; man, that thou art dust, id shalt return 'to dust.” The ashes •e customarily obtained by burning e palms of the previous year. , The administration of the ashes iginally was made only to public nitents. who had to apear before e church door with bare feet and in* niteutial garb. After their pen ces were declared, they were admit -1 and the rite was performed. Oth persons were allowed to join them, t of affection and humility, and the e finally became general. The fast Ash Wednesday is more rigorously served than any other day of the' arch year except the four days im diately preceding Easter. The carnival, of which tomorrow is » last day, comes from the Latin rds meaning a farewell to flesh at, and the name Shrove Tuesday plies a day whereon it is fitting it the faithful attend confession J be shriven.
