Gloriously illustrated in full colour, this book will sit proudly on the shelf of any reader interested, not only in the mystery and beauty of Catholic religious art, but also in the ever increasing cross-cultural dialogue between the Eastern and Western Churches. Sister Birute has provided a beautiful display of art to illustrate the great Feasts of both the Eastern and Western Liturgical years. These are accompanied by Scripture texts and by excerpts from the great Christian writers. Because of its content and layout, this work will also make a valuable contribution to the discussion on and the pursuit of the reunification of East and West, or as Cardinal Suenens has said:

In order to unite, we must first love one another. In order to love one another, we must first get to know one another. (Introduction, p5)
