This two-volume set presents a catechetical model derived from the liturgical year of the Orthodox Christian Church. Using Scripture, hymns, and icons, the authors draw us into the mysteries of the faith as experienced in the cycle of feasts and fasts that are lived out each year by believers. This is a multi-level catechism intended for use in classrooms and study groups, or individual edification and growth. The first volume is organized around the Advent, Christmas, and Theophany cycles, including chapters on the presentation of the Virgin Mary into the Jewish temple, the holy ancestors of our Lord, angels, and the circumcision of Jesus. The second volume, focusing primarily on Great Lent and the Resurrection, also covers Ascension, Pentecost, and the Dormition of the Theotokos. Other books on Christian Education published by St Vladimir's Seminary Press include: Our Church and Our Children, by Sophie Koulomzin; Foundations for Christian Education, by John Boojamra; and Children in the Church Today, by Sister Magdalen.Aslanoff, Catherine is the author of 'Incarnate God The Feasts of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary' with ISBN 9780881411300 and ISBN 0881411302.
