Where is Bethlehem? What does Easter mean? How does the rooster get to the top of the church tower? Why are there Catholic and Protestant Christians? The children's encyclopedia on the world of faith answers these and many other questions in an age-appropriate, easily understandable way, accompanied by numerous illustrations. It explains over 500 important terms related to the topics of festivals and saints, people and places in the Bible, worship and places of worship, Christian life and customs, as well as religious objects and symbols. Ideal for reading aloud and self-discovery! A detailed index at the end of the encyclopedia and the categorization of terms into thematic groups allow children to quickly find and categorize individual words.
