Easter Book of Days [9781786224606]

(No reviews yet) Write a Review

Following the bestselling Advent Book of Days, Gregory Cameron turns his artistic, literary and pastoral skills to the Easter story, introducing us to the characters who populate the crucifixion and resurrection. He explores 25 characters from the stories of Lent, Holy Week and Easter from the perspectives of scripture, history and legend and asks how they can enrich our practice of faith today.

As well as the familiar figures - Christ himself, Mary his mother, Mary Magdalene, the disciples, Pilate, the soldiers, and the thieves crucified with Jesus, he explores aspects of the story not found in scripture, such as Veronica wiping the face of Jesus as he carried his cross. Considering biblical accounts alongside folk legends, he also explores the rich traditions that have built up around the cross and the crown of thorns, as well as tales of how the robin got its red breast, or what happened to the disciples after the ascension, creating a richly textured guide to the Easter season.
AUTHOR: Gregory Cameron is the Bishop of St Asaph in the Church of Wales. Formerly a school chaplain, lecturer in the Old Testament, and chaplain to Rowan Williams when he was Archbishop of Wales, he is a calligrapher and icon writer and has created the illustrations for this book.
