"THE CHRISTIAN YEAR CONTAINING INSTRUCTIONS ON MYSTERIES & FEASTS"

This book from 1747, Tome I, is a religious text that serves as a guide through the Christian liturgical year, providing instructions and meditations on the mysteries and feasts of the Christian faith. This first volume would typically encompass the portion of the year starting with Advent, the beginning of the liturgical calendar, and possibly continuing through Lent and Easter, depending on the organization of the text. It offers reflections, sermons, and interpretive essays intended to deepen the reader's understanding and spiritual engagement with the central mysteries of Christianity, such as the Incarnation, Passion, Resurrection, and various saintly feast days. The work is designed to be didactic, imbuing the observance of each feast with historical context and theological significance, thereby enriching the devotional practice of the faithful throughout the year. As a comprehensive manual for devout Christians of the time, it represents a snapshot of 18th-century French Catholic spirituality and pedagogy.
