Annunciation

The Annunciation refers to the Christian event where the Angel Gabriel visits the Virgin Mary to announce that she will conceive and give birth to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This moment is significant in Christian tradition as it marks the Incarnation, where God becomes human. Celebrated on March 25 each year, the Annunciation symbolizes hope and divine intervention in human history. It highlights themes of faith, obedience, and the importance of Mary in the Christian faith, often depicted in art and literature throughout history.
