For medieval Christians, the seasons were marked not only by changes in the weather but also by the observation of holidays that commemorated events in the life of Christ and by periods of fasting that sometimes preceded those holidays. The saints were also memorialized annually, each saint on his or her day. This section of the exhibition includes a variety of liturgical books, each open to the decoration that marks a Christian holiday or season. Color slides available upon request. No parking reservations needed on Saturdays and Sundays or after 4 p.m. on weekdays.
