Festivals family and food

This a resource book for exploring the festivals - those "feast days" scatteredround the year which children love celebrating. It was written in response to children and busy parents asking, "What can we do at Easter and Christmas? What games can we play? What can we make? How can we prepare for thefestivals as centres of stability in our family life?"

Festivals, Family and Food is written with families, and especially children very much in mind - for children can remind us of the wonders we might otherwise forget. The underlying theme is a simple but bold suggestion: -that if celebrating festivals was formerly the focus of community life, then rediscovered in the modern context, such seasonal activities may enrich family life.
