Despite the reforms of the Council of Benevento, which had brought forward the date of the beginning of Lent by six days, the original date (Tuesday, i the sixth week before eastern) was not forgotten, especially in rural areas as well as in protestant areas, which did not recognise these resolutions of the council.
Trotz der Reform durch das Konzil von Benevent, welches den Termin des Beginns der Fastenzeit um sechs Tage vorverlegt hatte, blieb der ursprüngliche Termin (der Dienstag in der 6. Woche vor Ostern) in Erinnerung, vor allem in einigen ländlichen sowie in evangelischen Gebieten, die diese Konzilsbeschlüsse nicht anerkannten.
