Saints and Festivals: A Cycle of the Year for Young People

Mother Mary Salome wrote a volume of meditations called "The Feasts of Mother Church" in 1904, covering many of the most important feasts of the Liturgical Year. In 1913, she followed up with Saints and Festivals," adapting portions of her earlier work for a younger audience. In addition to Christmas, Easter, and stories of well-beloved saints, children will also discover the stories of lesser-known heroes of the Church such as St. Chad, St. Serapion, St. John the Dwarf, and St. Hilda of Whitby. Even St. John Cantius find a home in these pages. Peppered throughout with the imaginative illustrations of Gabriel Pippet, this volume makes a wonderful resource for children to take part in the yearly cycle of the Church.
