At this season from the beginning of the Church was de- dicated to the Apostolic fast of forty days,so the penitential. season of spring was called the Lenten season, The fast of Moses, Elias and Christ as recorded in the Bible, lasted for forty days', and this fast must have had a great influence on the penitential spir- it of the early Christian and the dura- tion of the fast. In the Eastern Churches the fast was one of forty days, exclusive of Holy Week, which was called the week of the Great Fast. However, although there was differ- ences as regarding the number of days • Christian antiquity was a unit from the beginning in maintaining a great fast preparity 0 the celebration of Easter.
