Septuagesima Sunday
Septuagesima Sunday the Sunday before Sexagesima. The name comes (in late Middle English) from Latin ‘seventieth (day)’, probably named by analogy with Quinquagesima, although it has also been suggested that it refers to ‘the seventieth day’ before the octave of Easter. Both conjectures were recorded by Alcuin in the 8th century.
