As a child, it's difficult to sit quietly and listen in church if you don’t understand what’s going on and why. That's why Loyola Kids Book of Seasons, Feasts, and Celebrations provides insight into the Christian calendar of celebrations, from events in Jesus’ life to the feasts of Mary and the saints.
Author Mary Welborn explains how Sunday services revolve around readings, prayers, and songs chosen specifically for each liturgical season. She tells how to use your senses to experience the mass, from checking the vestment and flower colors to expressions conveyed through music. She also includes how other cultures, countries, and the Eastern church may have different ways of celebrating holy days.
Welborn also chooses a variety of saints days, from Lily of the Mohawks (July 14) and Joan d’Arc (May 30) to All Saints Day (November 1), All Souls Day (November 2), and Dias de la Muertos (November 1 and 2). The book closes with major Jewish feast days.
