Every child knows what is celebrated at Christmas. But what happens on holidays like Pentecost and Ascension Day? Who were Saint Martin and Saint Nicholas? What do we celebrate on Thanksgiving and All Saints' Day? Why do we dye Easter eggs? With this book, children actively discover the church year. Starting with Advent, there are child-friendly factual texts, explanatory illustrations and creative suggestions on how to organize these special times for each festival and each year.
