Lent and Easter with Mary; By: Thomas J. Craughwell

Every saint has a feast day, but one could argue that the entire calendar belongs to Mary. Literally each day of the year marks a Marian holy day or a Mary-related anniversary. Following a day-by-day format, Lent and Easter with Mary brings 96 of these inspiring moments together in a book that is designed to be uplifting and informative, and to lead the reader to an in-depth encounter with the Blessed Mother whose influence has been felt in every facet of human life for 2000 years.
Lent and Easter with Mary spotlights Marian-related events in religious life, of course, but also in art, music, film, history, and literature. It tells stories of the origins of Marian prayers and hymns, recalls great miracles and apparitions, and celebrates the lives of saints who were especially devoted to Mary. And each entry concludes with a brief prayer or biblical text that reinforces the message of the day.
