About This Item
London: MQ Publications, 2002. D/J is good, but price clipped. The book is in good used condition (never read) The book is arranged chronologically in seasons throughout the year, taking us from Chinese New Year and the festivals of Spring through to the symbolic religious celebrations of December. These extraordinary ceremonies, in the main, take place against a backdrop of some of the worlds most stunning landscapes. The festivals are always spectacular and the diversity and range are vast. Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic, Jesuit, Sikh and Taoist believers all have extraordinary ceremonies, but having a "faith" is not a pre - requisite to enjoying and appreciating each celebration. Each photograph captures the rites, rituals and ceremonies as performed hundreds of years ago, as many of these events have remained unchanged and unaffected by modern civilization. This book is to be especially treasured as a document that has captured for posterity many wonderful festivals and fiestas which have since died out or been forgotten by the world at large. With two hundred colour and black and white photographs following the festival calendar. You will receive the book seen in the image.. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Fifth Edition.. Pictorial Hard Cover.. Good/Good.
