The purpose of this anthology is to show how time--the sequence of days, months, and seasons--can be taken up into Christ, and so be sanctified and transfigured. In so doing, it reveals some of the unfamiliar treasures to be found in the three great traditions of the Church: Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican. Within each month some of the more important saints or their works are featured.
Other books on the Church Year, published by St Vladimir's Seminary Press include: The Year of Grace of the Lord by A Monk of the Eastern Church, by George Barrois, Great Lent: Journey to Pascha by Alexander Schmemann, and The Lenten Spring by Thomas Hopko.
