    Peter,
    Holy Cross Ember days are the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday after Holy Cross Day: September 15, 17, and 18, 2010.

      Yes, you are correct that there are some understandable variations in this practice among those who care about Ember Days. The days of the week for embertides don't change but the holy/saint days to which they are linked certainly do. Some will, for some consistency-sake, say, "always the week after." I side with those who don't delay and simply say the tide follows as closely as possible after the day.

      Thanks for reading.
