Donkey Bells: Advent and Christmas
Stories, Traditions and MeditationsAuthor: Catherine Doherty
Madonna House Publications | Combermere, Ontario, Canada K0J 1L0
Review by Rose Maggisano This book has three parts: Book I has many meditations that are wonderful for private, quiet moments. Book II has customs and feasts of Advents and Christmas, such as the meaning of the advent wreath, Christmas decorating, baking and singing. Book III has stories of Catherine's experiences with Christmas themes. My favourite is Book II, especially the story of St. Nicholas and the blessing of the Christmas tree, both of which have meaning in my own life and would be stories that I would read to my children. Which is your favourite? E-mail your comments.
