Wednesday's book was another book from the series by Sister Elayne/Mother Melania and illustrated by Bonnie Gillis. This one is The Nativity of Our Lord and is available from Conciliar Press at the link given. I've blogged about this series in the past here. These can also be purchased from Archangels Books. Martha recently mentioned that she doesn't really like these little books, because it seems that something is missing. I actually really love Mother Melania's poetry in these books, because she imparts the depth of our theology as it pertains to each of the feasts. But Martha is right in that these aren't necessarily thorough narratives of each feast. Sometimes I stop to explain more detail, or discuss the very powerful imagery visible in the watercolor illustrations.
