The rhythms of the Earth can be seen, for example, in
the daily cycle of day and night and in the yearly seasonal changes.
Rudolf Steiner spoke of how Christian festivals such as Easter,
Pentecost (or Whitsun), and Christmas fit not into only these patterns,
but also into the macrocosmic rhythms of the cosmos and into the
microcosmic human rhythms.
In this concise, readable volume,
Charles Kovacs explores the structure of our calendar year and considers
in detail the background to the various Christian festivals, including
less popular St. John's Tide and Michaelmas.
The Spiritual Background to Christian Festivals
offers inspiring insights into why we worship and celebrate at
particular times, as well as discussions of the deep spiritual
significance of the Christian year.
