An Easter Book of DaysGregory CameronLabel: Canterbury Press NorwichDescription: Following the bestselling Advent Book of Days Gregory Cameron turns his artistic literary and pastoral skills to the Easter story introducing us to the characters who populate the crucifixion and resurrection. He explores 25 characters from the stories of Lent Holy Week and Easter from the perspectives of scripture history and legend and asks how they can enrich our practice of faith today. As well as the familiar figures – Christ himself Mary his mother Mary Magdalene the disciples Pilate the soldiers and the thieves crucified with Jesus he explores aspects of the story not found in scripture such as Veronica wiping the face of Jesus as he carried his cross. Considering biblical accounts alongside folk legends he also explores the rich traditions that have built up around the cross and the crown of thorns as well as tales of how the robin got its red breast or what happened to the disciples after the ascension creating a richly textured guide to the Easter season.
