  Annunciation

  March 25, Great Feast, Ευαγγελισμός

  The Great Feast of the Annunciation commemorates the day the Archangel Gabriel was sent to the Virgin Mary in Nazareth to announce that she would conceive and bear the Son of God. Her humble acceptance as the handmaid of the Lord opened the way for the Incarnation, and at that moment the Word of God took flesh in her womb.
