From the Back Cover:
Dr. Gibbs has taken a vast body of knowledge and made it accessible for the casual reader. Looking back beyond the Christian origins of some of the familiar seasons and holy days gives an added dimension to celebrating the church's year. The book is a reminder of the ancient traditions that form our Christian consciousness. What may appear on the surface to be a secular tradition takes on religious significance when people of faith bring their insights into the celebration.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
In the cycle of Christian year, we move very swiftly from the birth of Christ to his passion, death, and resurrection. The season of Christmas and Epiphany is separated from that of the Passion by the six and one-half week fast of Lent. It is customarily observed as a time of penance-contrition for sins and return to God-and abstention from festivities (including weddings), by increased almsgiving, and by devoting more than usual time to spiritual discipline.
