The Origins of Feasts, Fasts, and Seasons in Early Christianity is written by Paul F. Bradshaw and published by Pueblo Books. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0814662447 (ISBN 10) and 9780814662441 (ISBN 13).
The liturgical year is a relatively modern invention. The term itself only came into use in the late sixteenth century. In antiquity, Christians did not view the various festivals and fasts that they experienced as a unified whole. Instead, the different seasons formed a number of completely unrelated cycles and tended to overlap and conflict with one another. Drawing upon the latest research, the authors track the development of the Churchs feasts, fasts, and seasons, including the sabbath and Sunday, Holy Week and Easter, Christmas and Epiphany, and the feasts of the Virgin Mary, the martyrs, and other saints.
