Ember Days of Winter – Welcome to Rosemarie's Kitchen

Ember Days of Advent and an Abundant Feast

Today is the final Ember Days of Advent. Ember Days were meant as a way to give thanks to the Lord, our God, for all He has done for us. Blessings aren’t always easily recognized.

Ember Days of Advent and Friday Night Supper

The First Ember Days of Winter

From a purely secular perspective, we are entering the final few weeks of the year. From the perspective of the Church, the new Liturgical year has barely begun. So the Ember Days of Winter could be viewed as the last Ember Days of the year, or the first.
