|| ||"An important part of the success of Rieder's study is her emphasis on the possiblities for women to take a seemingly prescriptive ceremony and imbue it with their own meanings....Rieder successfully insists on the alternative meanings of churching." - Mediev

This book is a social history of the ritual and custom of churching, a liturgical rite of purification after childbirth performed on a woman's first visit to church after giving birth. The book describes the development of the rite from its original meaning as a response to blood pollution to its redefinition as a rite that honoured marriage.
