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.

This review is from: Book of Feasts & Seasons (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Book of Feasts & Seasons (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Book of Feasts & Seasons (Paperback)
I bought this book for my mother and mother in law as gifts and they both really loved it. My mom said it brought back a lot of memories from her childhood of traditions that many have forgotten but that her mom and dad use to uphold. The history of the seasons is so wonderful.
