This is a classic book from the unique insight and spiritual wisdom of Evelyn Capel.

She covers the main festivals and events in the Christian Year: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Ascension, Whitsun, St John's tide, and Michaelmas, always linking them back to the Gospels and Christ.

She considers the cycles of our world: the changing seasons; life, death and resurrection; waking and sleeping; breathing in and breathing out.

Throughout, Capel never loses sight of the over-arching cosmic themes which influence the spiritual rhythms of the Earth and human beings.
