WHAT DOES ROGATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

rogation

Rogation days

Rogation days are days of prayer and fasting in Western Christianity. They are observed with processions and the Litany of the Saints. The so-called major rogation is held on 25 April; the minor rogations are held on Monday to Wednesday on the dates preceding Ascension Thursday. The word rogation comes from the Latin verb rogare, meaning "to ask", which reflects the beseeching of God for the appeasement of his anger and for protection from calamities. The beginnings of the major rogation can be traced to the Roman holiday of Robigalia, at which a dog was sacrificed to propitiate Robigus, the god of agricultural disease. The practitioners asked the god for protection of their crops from wheat rust.

Definition of rogation in the English dictionary
