Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Called to Be Saints: The Minor Festivals Devotionally Studied For as all virtues have one and the same root, even so does that one root shoot up into every virtue: and although on one tree of God's own planting the branch of love may overshadow its fellow branches, bearing aloft the double rose of love to God and man; while on another the lily of faith may exalt its whiteness above its fellows and on a third every twig may be tipped with azure bells of hope which trembling make music yet no single plant, be it lowest or loftiest, be it indomitable trunk which may break but will not bend, or frail climber clinging and mounting around another's strength, can lack the germ if no more of each grace; the least indeed may elude notice on earth, but in Paradise it shall become a thousand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heortology: A History of the Christian Festivals From Their Origin to the Present Day It has seemed to the author that the time for gather ing together the ascertained results derived from these and similar books has come. It is chiefly for theological students and the younger clergy that the following book is intended. Such a work as would make it easy to deal with the subject in sermons and catechetical instructions, and, at the same time, would give clearly and briefly all the information necessary for dealing with the question from the historical standpoint, avoid ing equally uncritical credulity and sceptical unbelief such a work seems to the author demanded by the circumstances of the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Externals of the Catholic Church: Her Government, Ceremonies, Festivals, Sacramentals, and Devotions Our Catholic Liturgy is a grand and harmonious manifestation of man's homage to God. Its words and ceremonies and devotions are the growth of centuries. The essentials of our Church's worship have been embellished with a wealth of ritual observance, of which each detail is symbolic of the purpose for which that worship is offered. The explanation of these manifold practices is the object of this work. How little is known, even by fairly well-informed Catholics, concerning the history and meaning of the practices which have been embodied in our Church's majestic ritual! They kneel before the altar of God; they listen to the cadence of psalm and hymn and Preface and prayer; they see the ministers of the Church perform various sacred actions - and in many cases they know little of the origin of what they hear and see, or of the reasons for the ceremonial which adds so much to the beauty of Catholic worship. They receive the Sacraments of the Church, devoutly, indeed, but without ever trying to learn why these are administered with certain ceremonies. They use the sacramentals, and profit by so doing; but how few have had an opportunity of learning the history of these things which our Church sanctifies for us! And when a non-Catholic, interested in these ancient practices of the "Mother Church," asks why and wherefore - how seldom we, the children of that Church, are able to give an accurate and satisfactory answer!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming of the Saints: Imaginations and Studies in Early Church History and Tradition Strangers and pilgrims, with few or none to notice and keep record of their wanderings, they came to distant countries and to strange peoples. They wandered about, being often destitute, afflicted, and tormented (of whom the world was not worthy). They wandered in deserts and in mountains, and they sheltered in dens and caves of the earth. We know this because something like it has been the almost invariable experience of missionary pioneers through all the succeeding ages.
