This review is from: Handbook of Christian Feasts & Customs (Hardcover)
I bought a copy of Weiser new a year or two before it went out of print. For many years I have hoped someone would reprint this book. Weiser writes from a Roman Catholic perspective and includes a number of observances unique to the Roman Catholic Church. But, most of the book deals with holidays common to all Christians. Little things associated with a particular holiday, like the Easter parade, are explained in the context of their original Christian purpose. Further, the book explains differences in observance as practiced in different nations and cultures. It is a wealth of information I have used very often during the last thirty years.
The most useful portions of the book deal with holidays like Christmas, Easter, and Halloween, etc. Surprisingly, much of this material from Weiser is showing up on the Internet. Do a search for "Weiser Handbook of Christian Feasts" and you will find it without hunting for a copy of the book. |
