Rogation days are, in the calendar of the Western Church, four days traditionally set apart for solemn processions to invoke God's mercy. They are April 25, the Major Rogation, coinciding with St Mark's Day (but having no connection with it); and the three days preceding Ascension Day, the Minor Rogations.

“Barely a twelvemonth after
The seven days war that put the world to sleep,
Late in the evening the strange horses came.”
