Most highly favoured lady!

Today is the Annunciation of Our Lord—the feast honoring the day the Angel Gabriel came to Mary and announced that Jesus was coming. What? Have we skipped out of season? What happened to Lent? Well, this happens every year, and the explanation is simple: our calendars tell us it’s exactly nine months until Christmas.

At the risk of seeming like a lazy blogger, today I simply point you back to a blog I wrote on December 22 on exactly the same topic!

(The above "Annunciation" is by Tom Bower.)
