The Holyday Book

'Many people celebrate the holydays and know their names; but of their history, meaning and origin they know nothing . . .'--St. John Chrysostom. This book was written to provide the information which St. John would have wished the faithful to possess. This volume is devoted to the season of Pentecost and to those feasts of saints throughout the year that have attained the rank of holydays or popular festivals in the course of the centuries. The author's wish is that this book will deepen the understanding of our feasts and inspire a more fruitful celebration in church, home and heart. Gold embossed hardcover, 60lb cream paper, sewn signatures, 217 pages.
