DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Saints and Festivals of the Christian Church A considerable part of the matter presented in the following pages was printed a series of articles in the Union and Advertiser of Rochester, N. Y. The absolute truthfulness of these articles from both archeological and historic standpoints as well as their entire freedom from all denominational bias, with the knowledge of profane and ecclesiastical history and canon law shown in them, at once attracted a wide circle of readers and won the hearty approval of the clergy and laity of both the Protestant and Roman branches of the Christian Church. On their completion, at the request of many eminent divines, the author has carefully revised the entire work, adding to the original MSS. much valuable material, and he has thus produced what is practically a Church Year Book in which is told the origin, history and present status of each of the chief festivals of the entire Christian Church as well as of a number of local feasts and festivals which obtain in certain parts of Europe. While it is beyond the scope of the present work to attempt to tell the story of every one of the numerous canonized saints whom the Church has chosen to honour, the author has each day throughout the year selected a few of the most noted among them and made brief sketches of the lives of those who are remembered on that day. But in the Alphabetical Index are given the name and *' saint-day" of a far more comprehensive list; while in the general index will be found the names of those especially mentioned. As the largest number of the feasts, fasts, and festivals of the Church occur on dates dependant upon the date of Easter, these are spoken of at approximate dates to be found in the general index; while others, like Christmas, whose dates are fixed are treated of on their proper days. In conclusion we may say that this book is the only one published-except those huge tomes extending into from twelve to twenty volumes-wherein may be found such complete and tersely told hagiology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Greek Saints and Their Festivals Festivals of the Orthodox Church in Greece are remarkable for their frequency and for their unfailing popularity. By their numbers the working days of the year are so effectually diminished that the saying of Chrysostom seems to be taken with exaggerated literalness: And the whole of time is an occasion for festival to Christians on account of the excess of good gifts.1 The enthusiasm attending their celebration reveals the strong influence which they exercise on the national and social life of the country, and it is in this aspect that their real importance lies. The Church treats its festivals as occasions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Festivals, Holy Days, and Saints' Days: A Study in Origins and Survivals in Church Ceremonies Secular Customs 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 Ages, and where a pre-Christian 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 with 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.
