The Liturgical Home: Advent

Advent is the beginning of the Church year, but it is often neglected in the rush of shopping and holiday preparation. Why not slow down, and focus instead on the promises of God? Bring the hope of Advent to your home. Author Ashley Tumlin Wallace has collected recipes and traditions from around the world and compiled them into The Liturgical Home: Advent, a living guidebook to help families celebrate the season of Advent in their own homes.
