Each volume offers a deeply researched, vividly written account of the sacred festivals, deities, and rituals that structured life in the ancient world.

Rich appendices and poetic storytelling make this series a must-have for history lovers, spiritual seekers, and anyone fascinated by the enduring legacy of the ancients.
Ancient Egyptian Holidays
In Ancient Egyptian Holidays, part of Mab Borden’s Ancient Holidays series, readers are drawn into a world where the rhythms of agriculture and the divine danced in seasonal harmony. From the jubilant Festival of the Nile Inundation to the grand procession of the Feast of Opet, this volume illuminates how sacred rituals mirrored the agricultural cycle and celestial patterns.
Borden, acclaimed for her scholarly depth and evocative storytelling, paints a rich portrait of how ancient Egyptians lived in spiritual accord with their environment. Each celebration is presented not only as a religious event but as a meaningful reflection of cosmic and earthly order. This is a compelling guide for anyone seeking to explore the spiritual sophistication of one of history’s most enduring civilizations.

From great festivals in honor of Zeus and Athena to the lunar timing of Dionysian rites, Borden opens the door to a world where cosmic patterns shaped the human experience.
Brimming with detailed festival accounts and supported by appendices linking deities to their corresponding months, this book offers clarity and depth to readers new to Greek spirituality and seasoned enthusiasts alike. Through poetic narrative and historical insight, Borden reveals how ancient Greeks attuned their lives to divine rhythms, encouraging modern readers to find echoes of those rituals in their own seasonal journeys.
Ancient Roman Holidays
In Ancient Roman Holidays, Mab Borden reconstructs the sacred structure of Roman time, guiding readers through a calendar imbued with civic reverence and divine celebration. Through richly detailed festivals honoring gods such as Jupiter, Minerva, and Bacchus, Borden showcases how everyday Roman life was deeply interwoven with spiritual observance.
With her signature blend of rigorous research and vivid description, Borden reveals the solemnities, revelries, and philosophical underpinnings of Roman holiday traditions. Complete with appendices that trace the alignment of deities and months, this book is an essential resource for understanding the spiritual architecture that sustained the Roman world.
