Advent & Christmas, Catholic Customs & Traditions
Author/Artist: Joanna Bogle
Re-discovering the rich Catholic heritage of the Church's seasons.
This handy booklet sets out the rich heritage of customs long practised by Catholics during the season of Advent and Christmas. The Church makes sense of the natural seasons of the year through her own liturgical seasons. Advent's four weeks, cribbing, St Nicholas, carols, 12 days of Christmas, Candlemas, St Lucy and Boxing Day are just some of the rich traditions explained here - a fine antidote to the prospect of unfulfilling consumerism frequently on offer at the year's end.
