In the early years of the Christian era the fast of Lent was observed for varying siege periods, by some only one or two days and by others for a longer time, according to 20] the writings of Irenaeus, Greek Bishop of Lyons, in the second century. Pope Leo I, in the fourth century, recommended the fast of forty days as hav- ing apostolic authority. This period was taken to commemorate the forty days’ fast of Moses, of Elijah, and especially that of Christ. Theoretically, at least, the faithfy) abstain from food on fast days until eve- ning, worldly amusements and secular cele- bratidns are to be avoided and marriages are held to be undesirable during Lent. The duty of fasting is modified with respect to laboring people, children, and women under certain conditions, but in- creased diligence in works of charity is en- joined upon all, as well as extraordinary attention to all religious observances, throughout this period. WASHINGTON’S BIRTHPLACE Although considerable attention was given to George Washington’s birthplace during the celebration of the 200th anni- versary of his birth, in 1932, it is likely that if asked to name it the average Amer- ican would say Mount Vernon.
