Volume 1 of The Incarnate God: The Feasts of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary

“Even before beginning to teach their children the catechism, the Orthodox integrate them into the liturgical life of the Church. This is an ancient tradition, to which the present work witnesses. [...]The succession of feasts allows us to live the life of Christ from his very birth, or rather, from the birth of his mother. The Church allows us to participate in the life of Jesus through Scripture, through icons, and through the liturgy. We shall draw on all three sources in order to enrich the child and to make the knowledge of God grow in him.”
