Wonderful insight into Greek Christmas traditions

Part of a series developed by World Book Inc. several decades ago for young people, these books have evolved into a rich storehouse of information for anyone of any age who enjoys learning the Christmas history, stories, native Christmas songs, Christmas crafts, and holiday recipes of many nations. This is different from most of the other books in this series because it places the focus on Orthodox celebrations for St. Nicholas Day, Christmas, New Year's, the feast of St. Basil, and Epiphany. The book is richly illustrated with full-color photos. Two Greek carols have the original language, English translation, and musical notes -- "Your Birth, O Christ" and "Christmas Kalanda." There is also a section on Greek Christmas crafts. Recipes in the book include Spinach Pie, Moussaka, Roast Pork, and Greek Coffee. Collect the whole series for your home library, re-read them every December, and share them with friends and family.
