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.
