In terms of current events, I note that today is an Ember Day, a day of fasting and prayer considered specially suitable for ordination and, therefore for praying for those who are going to be ordained or vocations. They occur on a Wednesday, Friday and Saturday four times a year "Fasting days and Emberings be/ Lent, Whitsun, Holyrood, and Lucie.")

On a less churchy note, there used to be special cheese flans called Ember Tarts eaten on these days; they sound rather good, and I might have a crack at making one for tea on Friday or Saturday. Have a recipe.
