Beskrivning
Through his work as a physician, Karl König explored the relationship between the rhythm of the seasons, the Christian festivals, thinking in particular about their effect on human beings and communities. This fascinating collection of König's essays, lectures and notes looks at the cycle of the year and the different aspects of all the Christian festivals, from Easter to the Twelve Holy Days of Christmas. König discusses the idea that human beings can derive inner strength from festival celebrations through an active social life and participation in community, and also that a strong, healthy community life relies on the celebration of festivals.

Recensioner i media

'This collection is full of deep insights and draws together many strands of philosophy, natural science and history with knowledge of anthroposophy. It is a collection to which those who are following a path of self-development through the yearly cycles of seasons and festivals can return to again and again.'-- New View'Here is a book to treasure[...]. Dr Konig helps us to try to understand the true nature of the festivals through delving into his own inner experiences and bringing them to light in clear images that can inspire us to live within the real meaning of these important events that illuminate our physical and spiritual year.'-- Camphill Correspondence'This is necessary because we would completely and utterly forget the existence of a spiritual world if we cease to celebrate and understand the reality of festivals. And to that understanding this book offers a most valuable contribution.'-- Perspectives
