Embark on a spiritual journey with this guide to Christian festivals, feasts and holy days.
From the anticipation of Advent to the joy of Christmas to the renewal of Easter and beyond, this almanac tracks the rhythm of the Christian calendar.
What are the origins of each festival, feast or holy day? How are they celebrated in the different traditions of the Church? What can they offer us today? How, taken together, do they tell the Christian story?
Beautifully illustrated, and with extracts from poetry, hymns and the Bible, it will accompany you through seasons of joy and wonder, sorrow and loss, gratitude and hope, feasting and celebrating.
