Book excerpt: "The Christian year is full of great feasts, such as Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. Beautifully illustrated with colour plates, Festival Icons for the Christian Year introduces the general reader to the most important icons of the Orthodox Church associated with these major festivals, accompanied by words of prayer and liturgy." "Discussion of each festival includes background information, extracts from the associated liturgical texts, detailed analysis of the icon illustrated with information about its development, and comment on the theological and spiritual significance of the festival and its icon."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
