This anthology surveys the development and theology of the liturgical year in the order of its historical evolution: 'From Sabbath to Sunday'; 'From Passover to Pascha' (Lent, Holy Week, Easter, and Pentecost); and 'From Pascha to Parousia' (Epiphany, Christmas, and Advent). In addition, introductory essays on the meaning of the liturgical year and a short concluding section on the sanctoral cycle ('From Parousia to Persons') are also provided. While written as a companion to standard works in the field, beginning with graduate students in liturgy and seminarians, this book is intended for all--pastors, liturgists, catechists, religious educators who seek to live according to the Church's theology of time as it is reflected in its calendar of feasts and seasons.
