Festival Icons for the Christian Year

Summary: Learn about the Feasts
Review: John Baggley, a Roman Catholic, explains the significance of Orthodox Christian feasts using their icons and liturgical texts. The icons are beautiful and well-chosen, his commentary is accurate and often challenging, and the liturgical texts speak for themselves. No one can understand Orthodoxy without understanding the main feasts, and this is a great introduction to them. Of course ultimately you have to celebrate the feasts with the Church in order to understand them fully. All Christians, especially Orthodox, will benefit from reading this book.
