Quinquagesima is the name used in the Western Church for the Sunday before Ash Wednesday.

It was also called Quinquagesima Sunday, Quinquagesimae, Estomihi, or Shrove Sunday.

Since the forty days of the Lenten fast does not include Sundays, the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday, succeeds Quinquagesima Sunday by only three days.

The earliest Quinquagesima Sunday can occur is February 1 and the latest is March 7.

The earlier form of the Roman Rite, with its references to Quinquagesima Sunday, and to the Sexagesima and Septuagesima Sundays, continues to be observed in some communities.

The other two Sundays in this period of the liturgical year are called Sexagesima and Quinquagesima, the latter sometimes also called Shrove Sunday.

Quinquagesima Sunday is indeed the fiftieth day before Easter ( counting inclusively ), but the numbers indicated by the names " Sexagesima " and " Septuagesima " do not correspond to the interval between these Sundays and Easter.

The name " Sexagesima " is derived from the Latin sexagesimus, meaning " sixtieth ," and appears to be a back-formation of Quinquagesima, the term formerly used to denote the last Sunday before Lent ( the latter name alluding to the fact that there are fifty days between that Sunday and Easter, if one counts both days themselves in the total ).

However, like Quinquagesima, Sexagesima and Septuagesima, the numeral is more likely an approximation of how many days there are until Easter Sunday, in this case 42.

* In the Tridentine Roman Breviary the readings from the Genesis, that contain the formal narrative of Abraham begin on Quinquagesima Sunday with the call of Abraham, continue next day with the account of the separation of Abraham from his nephew Lot, and end with the sacrifice of Melchisedech on Shrove Tuesday, a total of three days.

The name Quinquagesima originates from Latin quinquagesimus ( fiftieth ), referring to the fifty days before Easter Day using inclusive counting which counts both Sundays ( normal counting would count only one of these ).

While Quinquagesima ( 50th day ) is mathematically correct ( allowing for the inclusive counting ), Sexagesima and Septuagesima are only approximations ( the exact number of days is 57 and 64 respectively ).

Quinquagesima (" fiftieth "), is the fiftieth day before Easter, reckoning inclusively ; but Sexagesima is not the sixtieth day and Septuagesima is not the seventieth but is the sixty-fourth day prior.
