Book Overview
When it was first published in 1986 A Book of Feasts and Seasons was the first popular attempt to recapture the lost traditions surrounding our major feasts and festivals. Since then it has gone through many printings, and has become a well loved source book all over the world. For every occasion of the Christian Year - from the traditional celebration of Michaelmas and Martinmas to making an Advent Wreath, from wassailing to the full story of St Wenceslaus - A Book of Feasts and Seasons remains an essential part of the family library. In today's fast moving world it gets harder and harder for people to keep in touch with their Christian history and customs. This book allows families, schools and church groups to do just that, and to have fun while doing it. Joanna Bogle is a well-known Catholic journalist and broadcaster. She often appears on the television station EWTN.

For a Catholic family, what could be better. Great traditions, religious ceremonies explained, with excellent recipes.
An informative book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I came across Mrs. Bogle's TV program "Feasts and Seasons" by chance one recent afternoon. Found her so interesting as she explained the making of an Advent Wreath and of some traditional foods for Christmas that I just had to buy this book. It is written in the same friendly style as she speaks. I've enjoyed the information about each feast day in the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church. It's interesting to read the history of the various foods and traditions.
Catholic culture with an English slant
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a great addition to your cookbook library if, like me, you are greedy for ideas on integrating the Catholic liturgical year into your family life and traditions. It will be of particular interest to those with British heritage, as it explains many customs and provides recipes peculiar to Irish, Scottish, Welsh, but especially English traditions.
