Covering the main festivals and saints' days, these 81 stories for primary-school assemblies, or for use with smaller groups of children, reflect the rhythm and punctuation of the Christian year. The stories are organized chronologically from Advent, through the full year, to St Catherine's Day, and each one is preceded by an explanatory note or short biography. Appendices include the dates of Easter and the other main Christian festivals for the next 30 years, a chronology of saints, and two indexes - alphabetical and by theme.
