The Christmas Foundation

This little treasure of a book, first published in English in 1984, is essential reading for anyone who, like the author, aspires to understand Rudolf Steiner "within the overall process of world history, and so come to recognize his spiritual mission."

Out of his own deep personal relationship to both the first Goetheanum and The Christmas Foundation Meeting, Grosse offers a wide-ranging, detailed, and ultimately helpful spiritual-historical basis for deepening one's own connection to this unique, world-historical spiritual impulse.

Includes a detailed, first-hand account of the ceremonial laying of the foundation stone of the Goetheanum in September 1913, with a full transcript of Steiner's words and a reproduction of the document that was sealed inside the double-dodecahedral stone.
