K. A. Heinrich Kellner’s Heortology is a scholarly history of the Christian festivals, tracing the origin and development of the feasts and seasons of the liturgical year. The book examines how Easter, Christmas, Pentecost, and the cycle of saints’ days arose and evolved across the centuries.
Drawing on liturgical and historical sources, Kellner reconstructs the calendar of the Church and the customs that grew up around its observances. It remains a valuable reference for students of liturgy, church history, and the development of Christian worship. This free EPUB edition is formatted for reading and study on any device.
