August I Is Lammas Day
From the Old English word for “loaf and “mass,"
Lammas was originally the day to bless the first
grains of harvest As often happens over time, how
ever, the word was later confused with “lamb” and
“mass,” and newborn lambs were brought to the church
for blessings, as well In a similar vein, we recently
heard of a New Hampshire farmer who refers to his
cosseted lambs (those needing extra pampering or bot
tle feeding) as “corseted,” which gives quite a different
(but still lovely) picture Spare
the roast lamb, cosseted or
puddings are traditional tare
After Lammas, the com ripens as much by
night as by Jay.
