THIS CAPTIVATING BOOK IS A MIX OF GENRES, PART TRAVEL MEMOIR AND PART ACADEMIC DISCOURSE.

Pentecost, Corpus Christi, Ascension Day, Easter… Aren’t public holidays marvellous? But what do these religious feast days signify? What are we supposed to be celebrating? Theologian Julian Sengelmann engages in some absorbing research into the origins and meaning of Christian feast days. He embarks on a journey from northern Germany to Israel, along the way quizzing rabbis, archaeologists and theologians, having some mystical (and a few bizarre) experiences, documenting some fantastical stories and meeting many interesting and quirky people.
