{"product_id":"9780852441299","title":"A Yearbook Of Seasons And Celebrations","description":"What is the Christian calendar? Would you know how to make an Advent wreath? When is Candlemas? Who was the original St Nicholas? Why do we eat Hot Cross Buns?\u003cbr\u003e These and many other questions are all answered in A Year Book of Seasons and Celebrations - a guidebook to the traditional Christian year, which is also a cookery book, a mine of interesting information, and a source of amusement, inspiration, and faith.\u003cbr\u003e Living the calendar, celebrating its feasts, enjoying the ways in which they mesh with the natural seasons of the year, gives a new appreciation of the gift of life itself and our relationship both with the natural world and with the customs and culture that we have inherited.\u003cbr\u003e At a time when many old and valued traditions are in danger of being neglected, and when families are seeking ways of giving real meaning to celebrations such as Christmas and Easter, this is a practical handbook which provides both the background and the practical information for enjoying the seasons of the year. \u003cbr\u003eWritten to celebrate our Christian heritage, it can be enjoyed by everyone.\u003cp\u003eJoanna Bogle is a Catholic writer, broadcaster, and journalist. She is the author of several historical biographies, and also, under her pen-name 'Julia Blythe', a children's book. Her earlier Book of Feasts and Seasons, published in 1986, became a popular classic - this new book, with fresh ideas and further information, is sure to follow. She has made both a television and a radio series showing ways of celebrating the Christian year with things to make, do, eat and sing. Joanna Bogle is married to barrister Jamie Bogle, who is also an author, and they live in London.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gracewing Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49896077721840,"sku":"9780852441299","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780852441299_p0.jpg?v=1784237943","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780852441299","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
