Previously published by Hodder Wayland as CEREMONIES AND CELEBRATIONS: FEASTS AND FASTING, this edition has been simplified and updated to suit KS1 and KS2 readers age 6-9. Children can discover information such as what happens at the Sikh festival for the birthday of Guru Nanak, why Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan and why Buddhists share their food amongst the poor. The book includes child's-eye accounts of some of these events as well as extracts from ancient religious texts to demonstrate their origins. It provides a fascinating insight into the beliefs and practices expressed through the special ceremonies of the six major world religions and is essential for any classroom or library.
This is Book 6 in the Special Ceremonies Series. See all Special Ceremonies books here.
