With Septuagesima Sunday,
the Pre-Lenten season has begun.
To avert the wrath of God against all ungodliness, we finally got around
to putting away the artificial tree in the parlor. (If the parish had listened to me, we would not have put
that thing up in the first place, but anyway . . . )
At home, I put away my Epiphany
lights. Yes, they were Christmas
lights, but I decided to keep them up though Epiphany season for the first time
this year to help ward off seasonal disorder. I think it helped.
But with Septuagesima, they had to go.
Which reminds me that one
of the helpful things about this humble blog is I have assisted wise readers in
averting the wrath of God against all liturgical abominations. For example, I have sternly advised not
to light the Paschal candle beyond Ascension Day with the warning of what might
happen if you do. (Sadly, the
original links to the smiting is as defunct as the offending candle.)
In any case, cleanse your
house and church of any lingering Christmas and Epiphany observances post haste!
But I will say it probably
is not necessary to go quite this far in observing the Pre-Lenten season.
