Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Festivals and Fasts of the Church, Vol. 1 of 2: A Series of Familiar Conversations; Between a Godmother and Child; For the Use of Young Persons Godmother. - Take this prayer-book, and look in the calendar if it is nothing else. Phoebe. - The feast of St. Andrew, Apostle. Godmother. - Look now at the end of the calendar, and you will see a table of all the feasts that are to be observed throughout the year, and then a table of vigils and fasts. To observe a day is to keep it in some particular manner, so as to mark it as different from other days; and the Feasts or Festivals are days set apart by the Church, either for the remembrance of some special mercies of God, such as the birth and resurrection of Christ, and the descent of the Holy Ghost, or in memory of the blessed Apostles, and other Saints, who were the means of bringing to us the knowledge of Christ Jesus, by preaching His gospel throughout the world, and who, most of them, laid down their lives for their Lord´s sake. Phooebe. - I see in this table that all the Sundays in the year are feasts. Ought all feast-days to be kept like Sundays? Godmother. - In former times, I believe, they were, and it was a great blessing and privilege. It may not always be in our power now to spend all festivals as we spend Sundays, but we ought to observe them as well as we can. For instance, we should make a point of going to church, if there is service within reach of us, and if we have no duties to keep us at home, or work to oblige us to go from home, but not to church.
