The book is a comprehensive study of the origins and survivals of festivals, holy days, and saints' days in both church ceremonies and secular customs. The author explores the historical and cultural significance of these celebrations, tracing their roots back to ancient pagan rituals and their incorporation into Christian traditions. The book also delves into the symbolism and practices associated with these events, examining their evolution over time and their continued relevance in modern society. With its detailed analysis and rich historical context, Festivals, Holy Days And Saints' Days provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultural heritage of these important celebrations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Many great scholars, both archaeologists and anthropologists, have discussed the obscurities surrounding the origin of Festivals. The idea of this little book is not to dogmatize, but rather to note practices still existing, or but lately obsolete, to trace their probable connexion with those of the Middle A ges, and where a preChristian connexion can be traced, to mention it with due reserve. In some cases, bygone ceremonies will be described for the sake of the light they throw on many still surviving amongst us. English ceremonies will be first regarded, and then such Continental or Eastern rites as can be compared vdth those of the English people, indicating a similar origin. The endeavour will be to select those which deserve note by their typical character, but not to attempt to cover such a huge field as the description of the Catholic ceremonies in all countries must necessarily involve.
