Preface

It is certainly not presumptuous of the Lutheran to want to learn about the festivals and customs of the Catholic Church. This will help him to understand the difference between the Lutheran and the Catholic Church and will show him the enormous gulf that has opened up between his Church and the Catholic Church, especially since the Council of Trent. In order to serve him in this, these pages are written. May the Lord also place "His" blessing on this small work.
It is only to be noted that this little writing, which herewith enters the public domain, is a complete reworking of a little writing which appeared in the year 1829 with C. Heyder in Erlangen and bears the title: Feste und Gebräuche in der katholischen und protestantischen Kirche zur Belehrung für beide Konfessionsverwandte. Published by Dr. Philipp Jakob Karrer, Dean of Kempten."
