"These simple little sketches of the religious customs and Sacraments of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which I have endeavoured to describe in connection with the life of the Greek people, are not in any way a deep study of the Eastern Church...My object in memorizing these 'Impressions' (as I would call them), and in having them published, has been that readers belonging to the Anglican Church may get to know a little about the people of Greece and their National Church, how much that Church has done for them throughout the long years of Turkish oppression, to what degree it sustained and kept alive their faith in Providence, and how it comforted them and brought them finally to the haven of rest which is at last in sight for those sorely-tried Christians of the East." - Introduction.
Chapters on A Greek Christening, a Greek Peasant Marriage, Patron Saints and Epiphany, A Pilgrimage, A Vigil, All Souls' Day, The Capitanissa's Funeral, Holy Wells, Easter in Athens, A Priest's Family, and Euchelaion.
