Denis McNamara and Christopher Carstens, co-authors of the new
book Solemnities: Celebrating a Tapestry of Divine
Beauty, join the podcast to talk about the upcoming
solemnities of Christmas; Mary, Mother of God; and Epiphany.
The book (co-authored with Alexis Kutarna) covers the Church’s
17 solemnities. For each, there is a discussion of its theological
and spiritual significance, a reproduction and analysis of a great
artwork related to the solemnity, and tips on how to observe the
solemnity more deeply, from spiritual practices to festive
traditions.
