Christmas Book

This classic originally published in 1952 unfolds the story of the celebration of Christmas.  Beginning with its gospel and history, the author, Fr. Francis X. Weiser (chaplain to the Von Trapp family),  leads us through the festivities of the Middle Ages, to the decline and eventual revival of Christmas customs in Europe and in America. Its twenty chapters cover all aspects of the feast, from food to symbols to plants and carols.
