Happy Feast of the #Annunciation to all who celebrate!
I'm celebrating the installation of the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in the #AnglicanCommunion
#SarahMullally, a former cancer #nurse, is a lovely person & I'm delighted
She may well provoke some #GlobalSouth churches to leave the commmunion, but please let's not pretend that's about Scripture unless they want to be as urgently concerned about Usury & abuse of #Refugees

Sandro Botticelli -- Annunciation -- 1489
I've loved this picture ever since I first saw it in a picture book on Botticelli that I purchased with a book token as a teenager.
The posture and gesture of the Virgin, "backward" and "gothic" though they might be, have always appealed to me.

What inspired #JavierGarciaLemus to paint the #Annunciation? Doing homage to the Lady who saved him from death in the sea at 16 y/o. Sinking into the depths, knowing he was drowning, he prayed “Mary help me!” Suddenly her silhouette brightened the darkness & he shot up out of the sea. https://dailymeditationswithmatthewfox.org/2025/03/26/the-annunciation-one-artists-take-on-the-times-we-live-in/

The Annunciation is one of the very first feasts observed by the early Church. It was widely held that Jesus Christ was crucified on the day of the Annunciation, and they calculated that that had occurred on March 25 that year.
Originally, the Nativity, visit of the Magi, and Baptism were all celebrated on January 6. When it was decided to break Nativity into its own feast, they added nine months to the preexisting Annunciation date in order to arrive at December 25.
That puts paid to the Saturnalia/Christmas myth.

The Annunciation marks when Gabriel announced to Mary that she'd be the mother of Jesus, as told in Luke's Gospel. This moment signifies the start of God's plan to save the world through Jesus' birth, teachings, death, and resurrection. It highlights Mary's faith and willingness to serve, showing how God works through ordinary people. The event also reflects God's love, inviting us to trust and follow Him. #Annunciation #Faith #Christianity #Hope https://young-catholics.com/536/annunciation/
