The book is divided into sections for each season and holy day, including Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and other important days in the Christian calendar. Each section includes an introduction that provides background information about the season or holy day and explains the significance of the hymns and introits included in that section.
