Trade Paperback. Condición: New. Support Small Business by buying this book! The Churchâs Liturgical Year reflects the fullness of Divine Revelation. In the various celebrations and commemorations of the Year of the Lord, the Church recalls the mysteries of faith: the Incarnation of Godâs only-begotten son, his passion, death, a…nd resurrection which won redemption for mankind, and his institution of the sacraments and founding of his Church for the salvation of souls. Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs, first published in 1958, is a masterful summary of the origin, history, development, and observance of the events on the Christian calendar as they developed to the mid-twentieth century. With warmth, wit, and due reverence, Francis X. Weiser, S.J., presents the liturgical and devotional aspects and the cultural expressionsâ"the food and drink, music and dancing, and moreâ"found in these salvific occasions. Set in three parts, the study progresses through the temporal rhythm of the seasons (Sundays and weekdays), the recollection of Christâs redeeming work (Advent and Christmas, Lent and Easter, Pentecost and Corpus Christi), and the jubilation over the fruits of that work (the Blessed Mother and the angels and saints). An easily accessible and richly detailed guide to the holy-days and celebrations of the Christian liturgical year, Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs remains true to its testament as âa key to a devout and meaningful observance of the Year of the Lord.â Francis X. Weiser, S.J. (1901â"1986) was an Austrian Catholic priest of the Society of Jesus. An exile from his homeland following the Nazi annexation, he emigrated to the United States, where he served as pastor of parishes in Buffalo, New York, and Boston, Massachusetts, and as professor of philosophy at Emmanuel College and professor of theology at Boston College. In addition to the comprehensive Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs, his books include The Christmas Book (1952), The Easter Book (1954), and The Holyday Book (1956). * * * Paperback: 384pp.
