Synopsis

Festivals, Holy Days And Saints' Days: A Study In Origins And Survivals In Church Ceremonies And Secular Customs (1915) is a book by Ethel Lucy Hargreaves Urlin that explores the origins and evolution of various religious and secular celebrations. The book delves into the history of festivals, holy days, and saints' days, examining how they have been celebrated over time and how they have influenced both church ceremonies and secular customs. Urlin provides a detailed analysis of the origins of these celebrations, tracing their roots back to ancient pagan rituals and exploring how they were adapted and modified by the Christian church. The book also examines the ways in which these celebrations have been influenced by regional and cultural traditions, and how they have evolved over time to reflect changing social and political circumstances. Overall, Festivals, Holy Days And Saints' Days offers a fascinating insight into the history and evolution of some of the most important celebrations in human culture, and provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, culture, and history.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.
