This book contains five lectures given by Rudolf Steiner at Easter in 1923. Steiner lays a foundation for celebrating the Christian festivals — Christmas, Easter, St. Johns's, and Michaelmas — in a fully conscious way. He begins by describing how the festival year evolved over long ages from the cycle of inbreathing and outbreathing that the forces which are the Earth’s soul element carry out in relation to the cosmos. He reveals the deep relationship of humankind to the Earth’s seasons, to the time of the solstices and the equinoxes, and through the festivals.
