Averrhoa carambola both have edible fruit; the other species "Averrhoa bilimbi", which is sometimes called the Bilimbi or the Cucumber Tree, is limited to tropical regions. The fruits of "A. bilimbi" are too sour to be eaten raw, while the sweet forms "A. carambola" are eaten raw. The fruits of "A. bilimbi" and the sour forms, which have high oxalic acid content, of "A. carambola" are pickled and made into jelly, jam, and juice. The genus was named after Abū 'l-Walīd Muḥammad bin Aḥmad bin Rushd (better known just as Ibn Rushd), who was called Averroes in European literature - a famous
Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus "Feast of the Holy Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ". In the Church of England, the calendar of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer stipulates a festival "The Name of Jesus" to be observed on 7 August as had been the practice in Durham, Salisbury and York, but in the more recent "Common Worship" resources the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ (1 January) takes its place as the primary festival of the name of Jesus. The Anglican Church of Canada's 'Book of Common Prayer' (1962) retains the date of 7 August, but as a commemoration, not a feast day.
