<br/><br/> Festivals and Holidays features over one hundred articles describing celebrations, rituals, feast days, observances, festivals, and fairs, from around the world. Some holidays are somber and serious, others are lighthearted and merry, but all holidays reveal something about the people and societies that celebrate them. These articles describe the history and significance of special days of all sorts, including major religious holidays, national holidays, ancient festivals, and newly established observances. Many articles feature recipes for special foods associated with the holiday. - Back cover
