This classic devotion is attributed to St. Alphonsus Liguori and forms a wonderful Christmas counterpart to the Lenten Stations of the Cross. It highlights major episodes of Our Lord's infancy, such as the Annunciation, Nativity, Adoration of the Magi, and Flight to Egypt, and also offers meditations on more private mysteries such as His nursing, first steps, and sleep. Each station is illustrated with the beautifully tender art of Carlo Dolci and other masters of the Italian Baroque.
A great and easy way to follow along with the Church's Divine Office during Christmastide. We've assembled this little office directly from an English translation of the official Roman Breviary. Pray the antiphons, Breviary hymns, and collects proper to the Christmas season through all the canonical hours from Matins to Compline. Includes commemorations for the feasts of St. Stephen, St. John the Apostle, and the Holy Innocents.
