Rogation Sunday and the three subsequent Rogation Days commemorate Jesus' final days on earth before his Ascension. These days focus on the earth, the work of agriculture, and on human dependence upon God.
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 preceding Ascension Thursday. Rogation reflects the beseeching of God for the appeasement of his anger and for protection from calamities.
The Sixth Sunday of Easter (the fifth Sunday after Easter Sunday) is traditionally known as "Rogation Sunday". The Thursday of that week is the feast of the Ascension, which comes on the 40th day after Easter (when Easter Sunday is counted as the 1st day).
