These long and wonderful prayers on the Life of Our Lord provide excellent meditations suitable for Advent and Christmas, including prayers on the Patriarchs, the Annunciation, the birth of Christ, and His holy name.

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.
