Excerpt from The Holy Days of the Church Little book is designed to give simple explanations of the Holy Days of the Church, adapted to children, and to all, indeed, Who ask, With regard to them, What mean ye by this service?

Book Description
Excerpt from Gaieties and Gravities for Holy Days and Holidays Knox might have carried the palm, as an essayist, for the dull King George's days in which he vegetated, but, possibly, would have been deemed a disqualified critic in this particular, for the Byron school. For poetry, without plentiful, if unaffected and unstudied alliteration, is now felt and found to be, like a feast of dry dates, on the sunny side of the way, in the narrow thirsty streets of Grand Cairo, during its J unetide solstices: or in the abeyances of its N ilar ef uxions, without the golden-coloured camandria of Cypriot exhilaration.

Excerpt from The Book of Holidays Nevertheless, our holidays are becoming sadly misused if they are degenerating into mere play days. They are, in fact, milestones in our national and religious life, marking the progress of certain ideas. Even when labelled with some one man's name, such as Columbus.

Book Description
The mass protests that greeted attempts to open the 1893 Chicago World's Fair on a Sunday seem almost comical today in an era of seven-day convenience and twenty-four-hour shopping. But the issue of the meaning of Sunday is one that has historically given rise to a wide range of strong emotions and pitted a surprising variety of social, religious, and class interests against one another. Whether observed as a day for rest, or time-and-a-half, Sunday has always been a day apart in the American week.Supplementing wide-ranging historical research with the reflections and experiences of ordinary individuals, Alexis McCrossen traces conflicts over the meaning of Sunday that have shaped the day in the United States since 1800. She investigates cultural phenomena such as blue laws and the Sunday newspaper, alongside representations of Sunday in the popular arts. Holy Day, Holiday attends to the history of religion, as well as the histories of labor, leisure, and domesticity.

Book Description
Excerpt from Exposition of the Collects, Epistles, and Gospels of the Book of Common Prayer: Alike of Sundays and Holy Days There will be found comprised in this guide an Introduction, a list of the Epistles and Gospels, an enumeration of the Epistles and Gospels respectively taken from the several books of the Bible, a Calendar of Red and Black Letter Holidays, a list of the Proper Lessons for Holy Days, and of the Proper Psalms for certain special Sundays and Holy Days. To obtain the full value of the Church's teaching, the Proper Lessons for Sundays and Holy Days should be carefully studied, together with the special Communion Collect, &c. The appropriateness and application of the selection will usually be manifest. Neither should the Proper Psalms be omitted from the survey of the day in question, although (from the nature of the case) the meaning and application of these may be more remote and more difficult of apprehension than those referring to the Lessons. The Author cannot conclude this Preface without acknow ledging with gratitude the assistance rendered by the Rev. Cecil Williams in the revision of the proofs.

Book Description
The High Holy Days -- Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur -- are for many Jews the highlight of the Jewish year. The liturgy for the Days of Awe are the longest and most complex of the year, leaving a large number of attendees without a complete understanding of the occasion's significance. Entering The High Holy Days provides historical background and interpretation of the ideas, practices, and liturgy and lends them contemporary relevance to today's Jews. Reuven Hammer received his ordination and doctorate in theology from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. He is the former president of the Rabbinical Assembly and head of the Rabbinical Court of the Masorti Movement.
