What is the Christian calendar? Would you know how to make an Advent wreath? When is Candlemas? Who was the original St Nicholas? Why do we eat Hot Cross Buns? These and many other questions are all answered in A Year Book of Seasons and Celebrations - a guidebook to the traditional Christian year, which is also a cookery book, a mine of interesting information, and a source of amusement, inspiration, and faith. Living the calendar, celebrating its feasts, enjoying the ways in which they mesh with the natural seasons of the year, gives a new appreciation of the gift of life itself and our relationship both with the natural world and with the customs and culture that we have inherited. At a time when many old and valued traditions are in danger of being neglected, and when families are seeking ways of giving real meaning to celebrations such as Christmas and Easter, this is a practical handbook which provides both the background and the practical information for enjoying the seasons of the year. Written to celebrate our Christian heritage, it can be enjoyed by everyone. Joanna Bogle is a Catholic writer, broadcaster, and journalist. She is the author of several historical biographies, and also, under her pen-name 'Julia Blythe', a children's book. Her earlier Book of Feasts and Seasons, published in 1986, became a popular classic - this new book, with fresh ideas and further information, is sure to follow. She has made both a television and a radio series showing ways of celebrating the Christian year with things to make, do, eat and sing. Joanna Bogle is married to barrister Jamie Bogle, who is also an author, and they live in London.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    Her earlier Book of Feasts and Seasons, published in 1986 became a classic and still appears on the publishers website. This new book has fresh ideas and further information. An entertaining read, going through the Christian year with factual information, recipes, suggestions for activities for families and appropriate quotations from Catholic writers such as the present Pope, here is a book that believers and non believers can enjoy and learn from. At a time when the secular world seems to dominate our lives Joanna Bogle has given us a handbook to enable us to celebrate our Christian heritage throughout the year and especially at Christmas, Easter and Pentecost, when it feels as though the secular majority are drowning out Christian voices and practices.
