The Festal Letters of Athanasius is a book that was discovered in an ancient Syriac version in 1848. It is a collection of letters written by Athanasius, a prominent Christian theologian and bishop of Alexandria in the 4th century. These letters were written to the churches in his diocese, and they provide guidance and instruction on how to celebrate the various festivals and holy days of the Christian calendar. The book is divided into 12 chapters, one for each month of the year, and each chapter contains Athanasius' letter for the corresponding festival or holy day. The letters cover a wide range of topics, including the importance of fasting, the significance of the resurrection, and the proper way to observe the Nativity. Overall, The Festal Letters of Athanasius is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, as well as for those who want to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith and its traditions. The book offers insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the early Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
