Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical context and evolution of Christmas traditions throughout various periods. The author traces the origins of Christmas celebrations from the early Church through medieval times up to the modern-day customs we still observe and enjoy today. The book also investigates the history of pagan winter festivals that pre-date Christianity, and how some of those pagan customs and practices have survived in Christmas traditions. The author explores how the Catholic Church has encouraged the adoption of some pre-Christian customs into their liturgical calendar, and in turn how these customs were then further transformed by local traditions over time. The book includes a thoughtful exploration of how these customs have been influenced by the social and cultural changes of their times, and the fascinating ways in which they have managed to survive despite significant upheavals in society and religious practice.
