May 26, 27, 28 - Rogation Days

Rogation Days are an ancient Catholic tradition. They are days of prayer and fasting to petition God for protection in calamities and to obtain a good and bountiful harvest. These three days are the Minor Rogation Days and take place the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday before Ascension Thursday. The Major Rogation Day was April 25th. Rogation Days were typically accompanied by processions and the blessing of gardens, farms and orchards, livestock, and farming equipment. Celebrate these days by reciting the Litany of Saints while you sprinkle your garden with holy water.
