For many people today the intimate connection that exists between the human being and the seasonal rhythms of the year has been lost. Emancipated from nature by the progress of modern technology, we have at the same time became alienated from the earth's cyclical patterns. Our religious life, once so deeply embedded in and supported by the natural world has increasingly lost awareness of the profound rhythm in the festive year. In this collection of festive meditations Emil Bock explores ways to deepen understanding of the Christian festive year. He contends that an active renewal of the festivals today will heighten our appreciation of the earth as a living organism, and provide new energy for humanity's social life.
