Religious Holidays and Calendars: An Encyclopedic Handbook (Religious Holidays & Calendars)
Posted on 2010-03-16
|  |
More The revised and updated second edition of Religious Holidays and Calendars: An Encyclopedic Handbook has been reorganized for ease of use and expanded to cover more than 450 religious holidays. The holidays covered in this encyclopedic reference are those with a sacred component that celebrates, commemorates, or honors people, places, events, and concepts important to a specific religious community. Entries for more than 450 religious holidays are organized in the new edition by religion, according to the most appropriate calendar, rather than alphabetically by holiday name. Each religion chapter begins with an introductory essay that provides the reader with background information, followed by an essay covering specific issues related to the religion and its sacred calendar. The religion chapters begin in the Middle East, the birthplace of many religions. These are listed in order of the historical appearance of their founders: Abraham (Judaism), Zoroaster (Zoroastrianism), Jesus (Christianity), Muhammad (Islam), and Baha'u'llah (Baha'i). Several post-Christian movements of the last few centuries have been included in the Christian chapter. Moving eastward, the next group of religions are those with origins in the Indian subcontinent: Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Buddhism. Buddhism serves as a bridge to the religions of the Far East: Confucianism, Taoism, Chinese folk religions, and Shinto. These are folowed by religions for the Old and New Worlds: Native American and tribal religions, Paganism (including Wicca, Druidry, Asatru, and Goddess Cults), and Western African Religions and their New World expressions (including Yoruba religious traditions, Vodoo, Santeria, and Candomblé). Many thanks priava, very useful and complete too, tahnks again. Thank you.
